Support Groups

Athens Alzheimer’s Caregiver Support Group

Join us for lunch and support on caregiving for loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. The meeting will provide an opportunity for individuals caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease to fellowship with other caregivers, participate in educational programs, and have questions answered about their loved one’s care.

The Group meets from 12:00 to 1:00 on the third Tuesday of the month at the Bentley Adult Day Health Center, 135 Hoyt Street, Athens GA 30601.
