Green Hills Manor at The Heritage, the personal and memory care community on the campus of The Heritage of Green Hills, will host monthly support groups for caregivers of individuals suffering from dementia, as well as other debilitating diseases.
The groups are held on the third Wednesday of each month. Upcoming dates include Feb. 19, March 18 and April 15. The caregiver support groups take place 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.
All individuals who are caring for a loved one with any debilitating disease are welcome to attend the support group meetings.
The support groups will strive to provide a safe, confidential, supportive environment for participants to develop informal mutual support and social relationships, according to Melissa Oley, marketing and admissions liaison for Green Hills Manor. The groups also also designed to educate participants about dementia and help them develop skills and confidence to meet caregiving challenges.
The support groups will be conducted by trained Alzheimer's Association facilitators and will be held at Green Hills Manor, 10 Tranquility Lane, Shillington, located just off Morgantown Road/Route 10, across from Flying Hills Golf Course.
