6 Benefits of Memory Care Support Groups
According to The State of Caregiving Survey by A Place for Mom, over 48 million caregivers provide unpaid care for individuals affected by Alzheimer’s or other forms of memory disorders. This generally adds 24-32 hours of work to one’s regular week, which can be overwhelming for caregivers. So, attending caregiver support groups can help prioritize self-care, share insights, learn from people’s experiences, and offer words of encouragement to other caregivers in similar situations.
