Beginning in January, an Alzheimers caregiver support group will start meeting each month at Marshall Public Library.
The Alzheimer’s Association Greater Idaho Chapter Caregiver Support Groups strives to create a safe and supportive environment and a chance for participants to develop informal mutual support and social relationships. They also educate and inform participants about dementia and help participants develop methods and skills to solve problems.
The groups encourage caregivers to maintain their own personal, physical and emotional health as well as optimally care for the person with dementia. In addition, they may provide a needed break from care giving responsibilities.
This support group meets on the 1st Monday of every month from 11 a.m.-12 p.m. All meetings are free and open to the public. For more information, please contact the group facilitator Lisa at (208) 529-2250 or visit www.alz.org.
