This group is available to residents and community members who are caring for loved ones with cognitive decline. The purpose of the group is to provide a space for members to:
- Exchange practical information on caregiving challenges and possible solutions
- Share feelings, needs and concerns in a supportive, non-threatening, non-judgmental atmosphere
- Develop realistic expectations of themselves and their cognitively impaired loved ones and to understand the impact of the disease on family dynamics
- Provide social contact for caregivers who feel isolated due to the demands of caregiving
- Familiarize people with resources available within the IKF and the greater community
The group has been facilitated by Pamela Mills, Director of Memory Care Programs and Joan Rosenstein. Both Pam and Joan will continue to assist with the group but Anne Ellestad, Interim Chaplain, will take over as facilitator.
