Caregiving can be a very lonely task. After all you spend hours or days with the person being cared for.
During this time family, friends and co-workers may not understand all of the strain and frustration you feel.
These groups are important because they provide an outlet of discussion with other likeminded individuals. These individuals are experiencing the same concerns and struggles and need to vent or talk through their problems.
However, there are groups where you can find support.
A few places to find support include:
- Alzheimer’s organization
- Church support groups
- Facebook groups
- Online support groups
- Workplace support groups
- Meetup Groups
Other places to check include:
- Doctor
- Local Agency on Aging
- Family caregiver support program
- Skilled nursing or rehab center
