Monthly Support Groups for the caregiver
A caregiver support group provides information about helpful resources as well as generates camaraderie.
Seasoned caregivers can share their collective wisdom and help those who are less experienced to contend
with the difficult aspects of caregiving. Finding home care services, pre-planning legal affairs, applying
for financial help, or preparing to move a loved one into a care facility can all be daunting events, yet
group members can help each other to take these steps.
