Geriatrics (Older Adults) Center of Excellence - Alzheimer's Support Group
An Alzheimer's Support Group is a safe place to learn, offer and receive helpful tips, and to meet others coping with Alzheimer's disease. It is a great way for caregivers to realize that they are not alone and feel better prepared to cope with their unique situation.
Support Group members usually consist of the spouse, adult child, any other family members or friends of someone with Alzheimer's disease. All caregivers deal with family members in different stages of Alzheimer's and have great advice that will help other caregivers work through issues and find creative solutions.
The Alzheimer's Support Group is a confidential place to share ideas, frustrations, anger and joy. There is no cost to attend the Support Group.
