Paynesville Alzheimer Support
My name is Mia and I am contacting you on behalf of Alzheimer Support (https://www.alzheimersupport.com/memory-care/minnesota/). Alzheimer Support is a free service that assists Paynesville families who have loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. Through our free search tool and database of Alzheimer’s care facilities, families in need of care for their loved ones can locate licensed care homes and communities in the Paynesville area that are best equipped to provide care for their loved ones. I was wondering, would it be possible for you to let your residents know about Alzheimer Support via your website at http://www.paynesvilletownship.com/links.ht
