Alzheimer's Support Group

ALZHEIMER’S ASSOCIATION CAREGIVER SUPPORT GROUP

Caregiving for someone with Alzheimer’s or other dementia, is one of the most difficult and challenging types of caregiving out there. No one understands how brutal Alzheimer’s is until they experience it first-hand. An Alzheimer’s Association support group is an open gathering of people with common problems, needs and interests who come together to share their feelings, thoughts and experiences in a combined effort to better cope with and manage the shared problems of dementia in a safe environment. Such a group often becomes the lifesaver for the family Alzheimer’s caregiver. Support groups offer comfort and reassurance and become a go to source of practical advice and even humor. After their Alzheimer’s journey is complete, many caregivers say that the caregiver support group saved their lives.
