Caregivers of those suffering from advancing memory care needs or other debilitating diseases often work a “36 Hour Day” and feel constant stress. Without relief, they themselves often suffer from emotional or physical symptoms. Depression among isolated caregivers is very common. Seeking help is much needed. We offer our monthly support group on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:00 pm. We encourage family members and those caregivers in the community to come and join us. We are as concerned about the family, the caregivers, as the memory care patient!
