The Alzheimer's Association in conjunction with Congregation Shir Hadash's Caring Committee, is offering a Support Group for anyone trying to navigate the day to day difficulties of caregiving.

Support Groups help to provide tools for caregiving such as sharing ideas and resources. They are most helpful for families and friends needing "helpful hints" because they are caring for or know a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer's disease. This group will be "caring for the caregiver," offering support in a confidential setting.

The facilitator, Lois Tager, is a Certified Senior Advisor and has been working with the Alzheimer's Association as a group facilitator for the past seven years and is presently the Director of Geriatric Care Management for the Law firm of Roy W. Litherland. Meetings will be held on the 2nd Friday of the month, from 10:00 am to 11:30 am at Congregation Shir Hadash, Classroom 3 and is open to the public.
