We invite you to the Morningside of Concord on the first Wednesday of each month from Noon until 1pm to meet with a caregiver support group. Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease or other Dementia can leave a family caregiver feeling confused, overwhelmed, and isolated. Our support group provides an opportunity to share your experiences in a safe setting and learn from other families also living with Alzheimer's disease.
A caregiver support group can act as a positive outlet providing caregivers a regular time for social interaction outside of the home. The groups offer a safe place where any negative emotions about caregiving can be expressed and validated (like anger, frustration, and grief), helping participants feel like they are NOT alone. Caregivers can gather ideas on how others deal with common challenges of caring for a loved one during each of the stages of dementia and have the opportunity to help others who are new to caregiving by offering tips on what has and hasn’t worked well for them. In addition, many groups offer an educational component with expert advice on caregiving topics.
