Urgent message to all Nursing Homes

We are still searching for missing elderly from Hurricane Katrina; usually Alzheimer's/dementia patients that are unable to identify themselves or give contact information. Do you know if there are any unidentified persons in your nursing home facilities? We have pictures on our website of a few of the people we are looking for at www.cajunaaa.org. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!
