Long Island Caregiver Support Groups

Caregiver support groups are designed to provide emotional, educational and social support to caregivers through regularly scheduled meetings. They help participants develop methods and skills to solve problems while encouraging caregivers to maintain their own personal, physical and emotional health. Specialized caregiver support groups examine these topics with a specific focus on the caregiver's relationship or stage of the disease.

Call 800.272.3900 for more information about which group is the best fit for you.
