Caring for a person with Alzheimer's disease is a challenge. Changes in the person's behavior, caused by the progress of the disease, can lead to frustration and anxiety for a caregiver. Caregivers attending a support group meeting find a relaxed, confidential atmosphere. They are among other caregivers and discuss suggestions for handling specific medical, legal, behavioral and financial problems.

This meeting is free and open to the community. Registration is not required however, it is strongly suggested that you contact (the) a facilitator of the group you plan to attend for the first time to confirm the time, place and date of the meeting or the Alzheimer's Association, Northwest Ohio Chapter, at 1-800-272-3900 or 419-227-9700.
