Caregiver Support
 Adult day health can also be vital to caregivers by allowing them time to care for their own physical, emotional and spiritual health. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that elderly people caring for their spouses were 63% more likely to die prematurely than those who were not caregivers. Accessing adult day programs can help alleviate the caregiving stresses, which contribute to illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, stroke and others. In addition, family members say they are able to provide better care because of regular, uninterrupted, worry-free time to themselves.
In partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association, we provide monthly caregiver support groups at our center. These are open to all caregivers, regardless of whether their loved one attends adult day health. There is a general caregiver support group on the 2nd Monday and an all-male caregiver support group on the 3rd Monday of the month. Both groups meet from 1:00 to 2:30 PM. Attendees are encouraged to bring their loved ones to participate in our afternoon activities for no charge during support group hours.
