Designed for loved ones and friends of those with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia.

It's very beneficial for family members and caregivers involved with caring for an individual with Alzheimer's disease to attend Coping/Support Group meetings. By attending meetings you will feel less alone and learn that others share in your feelings, frustrations and concerns.  The listed groups are general groups for all caregivers of an individual with Alzheimer's disease or related disorders unless otherwise noted. For more information on these groups contact the Alzheimer's Association Chapter at 402.502.4300 or 1.800.272.3900 .
