What we’re about
A support group for spousal caregivers of loved ones in early stages of dementia. Spouses seeking support, information and to share experiences are encouraged to be a part of this community. We will meet twice a month for an hour, on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month, at 11:00. (subject to change depending on the schedule that works best for participants.) First meeting to take place on Tuesday, Sept. 14th. I am thinking of meeting at various members' homes who are able to host, or at an agreed upon location.
I was prompted to put this together due to the lonliness and isolation that can be a part of caring for a spouse with dementia. I chose "early stage" because I have found that in the online groups I have been a part of, most loved ones have been in fairly advanced stages and it was difficult to relate; there is not a lot available for those of us dealing with the early stages. And online support is not nearly as helpful as meeting a group of like-minded people in person, building relationships.
I hope you will consider joining us.
