    Nebraska Alzheimer’s and Dementia Support Groups

    Nebraska Alzheimer’s and Dementia Support Groups

    The Alzheimer’s Association holds local support groups for caregivers and individuals living with the disease in Bellevue, Chadron, Columbus, Fairbury, Grand Island, Kearney, Lincoln, Loup City, North Platte, and Omaha. The Alzheimer’s Association works to bring care and support to every community so that no one has to face dementia alone. Support groups create a safe, confidential and supportive environment. They give a chance for participants to develop mutual support and social relationships.

    Trained facilitators lead support groups via phone, video or in person. All services and resources are free. Find a support group near you.

    Early-stage support groups

    Our early-stage support groups intend to provide a safe and positive environment for individuals who have a physician’s diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, another dementia or a related disorder. We encourage attendees to be comfortable and open to discussing their diagnosis and symptoms in a group setting.

    Prescreening is required prior to enrollment. For more information, call the Alzheimer’s Association 24/7 Helpline at 800.272.3900.

These meetings are for unpaid family members or friends caring for someone living with Alzheimer’s disease, another dementia or a related disorder. People who attend should be comfortable and open to discussing their experience in a group setting.
