Step Into Blacksburg

Alzheimer's Caregiver Support Group
2030-08-16 15:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | Online / Zoom
The Warm Hearth Village professionally led caregiver support group has resumed virtually via Zoom! The group will be held on the 1st and 3rd Friday of each month from 3 – 4 PM. The Zoom link is listed below. The group is offered to assist individuals affected by Alzheimer’s/Dementia in a care-giving capacity, within the Warm Hearth Village community as well as the greater public. Whenever facing difficult times, having a good support network you can turn to for advice and encouragement may help you feel socially connected and give you a sense of belonging and purpose. Connecting with others like you may help put your own experiences living with the disease in perspective, and provide you with the support and encouragement necessary to move beyond your loved one’s diagnosis.
For more information, contact Nicole Long, Social Worker at (540) 443-3450 or nlong@warmhearth.org.
For additional support programs and resources, you may contact the Alzheimer’s Association at 1-800-272-3900 or www.alz.org.
