Alzheimer’s & Dementia Caregiver Support Groups
Senior Living Residences is dedicated to assisting and supporting individuals with memory loss and the families and friends who love them.
Adapting to and planning for each stage of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia disorders can be difficult, but it is helpful to share your concerns and personal experiences with others who completely understand what you are going through. Our Alzheimer’s Caregiver Support Groups are facilitated by a Compass Memory Support Program Director who shares his or her expertise about the disease and arranges for guest speakers who provide specialized information to the group.
Several of our support groups have been adapted to meet virtually via Zoom.
Join us to learn about proven strategies to help you better care for and stay connected with your family member.
You can find an SLR Sponsored Support Group in the map above, with meeting times detailed below. All groups are open to the public, free of charge. Please call or email if you plan to attend!
