Support Group
The personal and memory care neighborhood at the Heritage of Green Hills will host its next support group for caregivers of individuals suffering from dementia, or other debilitating diseases at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, July 15. The meeting will take place online. The monthly caregiver support groups occur on the third Wednesday of each month from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Held in conjunction with the Delaware Valley Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association, the sessions are free and open to the public.
Though it has moved to a virtual environment temporarily, the support group still seeks to provide a safe, confidential, supportive environment for participants to develop informal mutual support and social relationships. The group also educates participants and helps them develop the skills and confidence to solve caregiving challenges.
