If you or someone you know is caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease, there are local resources and support to help you through this di cult and solitary journey.
Trying to manage the care giving responsibilities for a loved one with dementia without support from others is simply not possible, emotionally or physically.
Studies con rm that it is many times the caregiver’s health that deteriorates faster due to the demands of taking care of someone with dementia. The demands are constant and intense and, without the support from others on that same path, almost unbearable.
Comprehensive Alzheimer’s Caregivers Support o ers monthly support groups that provide caregivers with the skills they need to be as e ective and knowledgeable as possible. Attending a regularly scheduled monthly support group can be one of the most important steps a caregiver takes, knowing that they are not alone, giving them the opportunity to say what they are feeling in a supportive and safe environment and learning new strategies from others on the same path. Special workshops are also o ered throughout the year on everything a caregiver needs to know as well as the latest information on Alzheimer’s research.
The Castle Rock Caregivers Support Group meets the 3rd Thursday of each month. All meetings and classes are free and open to caregivers. For additional information and details please email or call 720-733-0491.
