Caregivers Support

Group to meet March 5

The Caregivers Support Group-Warren evening meeting will be held on Thursday, March 5, at 6 p.m. at Grace United Methodist Church, 501 Pennsylvania Ave. E., Warren. Enter the building via the Pennsylvania Avenue entrance and proceed to the Winger Room on the right. The meeting will be a regular meeting with ideas and planning for future meetings. Topics of discussion from the Alzheimer’s Today magazine will be “Navigating the Hard Conversations” including when driving is no longer safe, when in-home help is needed, and when to consider placement in a care facility. Caregivers and anyone interested in learning more about the group are invited to attend. This is a time of sharing concerns and ideas with other caregivers in a confidential setting. Educational materials from the Alzheimer’s Association, the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, and the group’s lending library will be available.
