Helpline, in Over 90 Languages, Created for Families Affected by Alzheimer's

The Alzheimer's Foundation of America (AFA) announced the launch of a new hotline that will be available to answer coronavirus questions in more than 90 languages via live chat, reports KKTV . The helpline, which will be wholly staffed by licensed social workers, is accessible seven days a week through the AFA website. The helpline is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. ET on weekends. "Language should not be a barrier to getting help," said AFA Chief Executive Charles J. Fuschillo Jr. "Families of all different ethnicities and languages are affected by Alzheimer's disease and the added challenges the coronavirus poses in caring for their loved ones. We want them to know there is a place to turn for help and answers to their questions. The helpline can be a great resource for professionals as well."
