Alzheimer’s Association’s Caregiver Support Groups are designed to provide emotional, educational and social support for caregivers. Members share their experiences, challenges, hopes and fears in an atmosphere of shared support. Participants are encouraged to maintain their own personal, physical and emotional health, as well as optimally care for the person with dementia. Group is free and open to the public.

The caregiver support group is open to the public and provides information and a welcoming environment for discussing the challenges of being a caregiver in the community. Each session begins with a light meal and fellowship at 5:00 p.m. The meetings are topic focused with a guest speaker and include time for sharing in the group.

This group is open to the public and welcomes new members, whether they are caregivers, family members or friends of someone with Alzheimer’s or a related dementia. It is facilitated by the Alzheimer’s Association – Maine Chapter.
