Caring for an aging parent can be one of the most meaningful roles a person takes on. It can also be physically and emotionally demanding.
Many adult caregivers find support and helpful advice by connecting with others who are going through similar experiences.
Caregiver support groups can provide:
• Emotional support
• Practical caregiving advice
• Resources for local services
• A place to share experiences and ask questions
There are several organizations that offer support for caregivers, including the Alzheimer’s Association, Family Caregiver Alliance, Caregiver Action Network, and AARP’s Caregiving Resource Center.
Many local senior centers, hospitals, and Area Agencies on Aging also host caregiver support groups in their communities.
If you are helping care for a loved one, remember that support is available and you do not have to navigate the journey alone.
