Alzheimer's Support Group

Alzheimer's Association support groups provide an opportunity for family members, friends, and caregivers to meet regularly for emotional support, information, and exchange of coping skills related to the challenges of caring for an individual with Alzheimer's or a related dementia. Confidentiality of shared information is respected.

We invite you to attend a meeting and see what a difference it will make in your life. It is a perfect opportunity to relax, enjoy a cup of coffee and ask questions of other members of the group to see if they have a solution to the current problems you are experiencing. You can also just sit and listen. That, too, is perfectly acceptable. Just listening can sometimes help you to gather and renew your strength.

Testimonials from support groups:

• We can cry with no shame attached.
• It's a safe place to let out my true feelings and to laugh again.
• I've learned how to handle challenging behaviors in a positive way, which has made a big difference in my attitude.
