3. Local Level
4. A problem/issue that individuals/families face.
5. This is both important for individuals/families as it affects them. It is important for those who have family members who suffer this terrible disease. It affects those residents who dislike the idea of having this Alzheimer facility in close proximity to their homes.
6. This policy is being considered for Alzheimer’s patients to
have a facility in which they will be taken care of. This is an extraordinary
idea because personally I have not heard of many facilities created for the
purpose of helping Alzheimer patients. If there are such facilities, I can
honestly say I have never seen them. I feel that many Alzheimer patients end up
in nursing homes in which they are so overcrowded they do not get the special
attention that they need. This center is imperative for these patients to get
the medical care that they need. Residents around this facility that is planned
to be built are against its construction. Residents are afraid that there will
not be enough security in the center and their lives could be endangered or
they would have to change their way of life as they know it in their
communities. If a patient is able to escape the facility they will wander
around the neighborhood unto resident properties. Wyatt, who proposed this
community center, argues that this would not be an issue because he will insure
that there is fencing around the property and enough vigilance within the
facility. Residents are also afraid that traffic will increase in this
neighborhood and inconvenience them. It will definitely bring people from
different parts of the city or out of town, people that may wander into private
properties and create destruction. Another issue with residents is that they
are afraid that if this center loses its funding then it will easily become a
drug rehab facility and make it just as harmful to their community.
