Support for Families & Caregivers

Senior Living Residences is dedicated to assisting and supporting, not only individuals with memory loss, but their family members as well. Adapting to and planning for each stage of Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders can be difficult. Support and information is vital for caregivers.

Alzheimer’s Caregiver Support Groups

Senior Living Residences’ Support Groups offer family members a space to share information, concerns, personal experiences, and support with other group members. Each group is facilitated by a Compass Memory Support Program Director, who shares her expertise about the disease. At times, a guest speaker will provide specialized information to the group. All of our support groups are open to the public. Please call if you plan to attend!
