The personal and memory care neighborhood at The Heritage of Green Hills in Shillington will host its Wednesday, Oct. 21, support group for caregivers of individuals suffering from dementia, as well as other debilitating diseases, online.
Melissa Oley, marketing and admissions liaison for the personal and memory care neighborhood at The Heritage of Green Hills, co-facilitates the monthly caregiver support group with the Delaware Valley Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association on the third Wednesday of each month from 3 to 4:30 p.m.
Oley, who was a social worker prior to her role at The Heritage of Green Hills, said that caregivers of people with debilitating diseases are facing additional pressures and worries during the time of COVID-19.
The support group, which is temporarily moved to a virtual meeting, will strive to provide a safe, confidential, supportive environment for participants to develop informal mutual support and social relationships. The groups are also designed to educate participants about dementia and help them develop skills and confidence to meet caregiving challenges.
