Get the support you need to better care for the person with dementia and yourself
We have over 20 support groups throughout our nine counties, at various times and locations. Other attendees tell us that groups help cope with their role as a caregiver and learn better ways to care for the person with Alzheimer's.
The groups are open, meaning you can simpy go to the group without calling, but if you would like, call our Help*Line and the Help*Line staff can have a support group leader call you and tell you about that particular group. Check to see if there is a group close to you that fits your needs.
Support Group Listings: Champaign - Clark - Darke - Greene - Logan - Miami - Montgomery - Preble - Shelby
Need more information? Call Eric VanVlymen at (937) 291-3332 or (800) 272-3900 or email him at eric.vanvlymen@alz.org.
If you have Alzheimer's or a related dementia
We now have a specialized group for people in the early stages of Alzheimer's and dementia. The Dayton group was started by two individuals with early stage dementia who wanted to reach out and find support. In addition, we have added a Early Stage Group in the Vandalia area.
