Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia is both a deeply meaningful and incredibly challenging journey. The emotional, physical, and mental demands of caregiving can often feel overwhelming. That’s why having a strong support system is essential.
To help caregivers navigate this journey, Alzheimer & Dementia Services of Northern Indiana offers a Caregiver’s Support Group at Hamilton Grove in New Carlisle, Indiana. This group provides a safe and welcoming space for caregivers to share their experiences, gain valuable insights, and connect with others who understand the unique challenges of caring for someone with Alzheimer’s or dementia.
When and Where?
📅 First Wednesday of every month
🕐 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM EST
📍 Hamilton Grove, 31869 Chicago Trail, New Carlisle, IN 46552
📌 Meetings are held at the brick carriage house upon entering the grounds.
What to Expect
Facilitated by experienced healthcare professionals Dorothy White, RN MSN FNP and Sandy Papai, RN, BS, MSA, the support group provides:
✔️ A Judgment-Free Space – Caregivers can openly share their challenges and emotions.
