Early-stage memory loss groups for persons who have been diagnosed with mild memory impairment The Georgia Chapter and the Emory Alzheimer’s Disease Center at Wesley Woods co-sponsor an Early Memory Loss Support Group. The group is for both the person diagnosed with mild memory loss and the caregiver. Two groups are formed each year, in the fall and in the spring. Each eight-week group meets September-October and February-March on Fridays from 10:30-12:00pm. The groups are facilitated by dementia care professionals at Wesley Woods. Topics include: overview of progressive memory impairment and its meaning for the individual; coping with change; communication skills; improving memorial skills; planning for the future; and stress management. This group is offered free of charge. For more information about the Early-stage memory loss group, please contact Suzette Binford in the Atlanta office at 1.800.272.3900.
