Alzheimer's Caregiver Group Meeting 06-19-2012

People who have Alzheimer’s disease or a related disorder are often cared for at home by family members and friends. The Alzheimer’s Association, Northwest Ohio Chapter, invites anyone who has a family member or friend with memory loss to attend a caregiver group meeting.  Caring for a person with Alzheimer’s disease is a challenge. Changes in the person’s behavior, caused by the progress of the disease, can lead to frustration and anxiety for a caregiver. Caregivers attending a support group meeting find a relaxed, confidential atmosphere. They are among other caregivers and discuss suggestions for handling specific medical, legal, behavioral and financial problems.  This meeting is free and open to the community.  Registration is not required however, it is strongly suggested that you contact the facilitation of the group you plan to attend for the first time to confirm the time, place and date of the meeting or the Alzheimer’s Association, Northwest Ohio Chapter, at 1-800-272-3900 or 419-227-9700.  The meeting will be in Bucyrus, on the 3rd Tuesday of every month at 2 p.m. at Altercare of Bucyrus 1929 Whetstone.  Call 419-562-7644 or in Galion on the last Thursday of every month at 7 p.m. at Rosewood Manor 935 Roaswood Avenue.  Call 419-468-7544.
