ALZHEIMER’S CAREGIVER GROUP
It is critical for any who are primary caregivers or have loved ones
in a facility to: 1) understand Alzheimer’s disease and related
dementias and how you can still play an important role in your
loved one’s life and, 2) acquire the tools needed to allow you time
for your life; less stress and less guilt. You can learn that it is
alright to be angry, to feel frustrated, to ask for help, to recognize
your limits, to make mistakes, to laugh and love, to hope.
If you are interested in becoming part of this group, it meets the
2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month at the Lucius Beebe
Memorial Library from 7:00 – 8:30pm. The group offers educational
materials, guest speakers and peer support.
Support group facilitator, Dawn Edwards, has been trained through
the Alzheimer’s Association. She has also completed numerous
hours of dementia related trainings and stays current as to the
latest research being done in the field. Please contact her at 781-
665-0273, if interested, or with any questions.
