Caring for the Caregiver
Many communities
offer caregiver support groups, where people can get emotional
support, share information and feel connected to others who are giving care.
Support groups are organized through local Area Agencies on Aging and through
local chapters of organizations such as the Alzheimer´s Association. Your local
aging office can direct you to a support group that can help.
Check with your local aging agency about support groups
