    Attend a caregiver support group

    Our caregiver support groups offer comfort, reassurance, practical advice and a community of people who are facing similar challenges. 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.

    Support group details are updated regularly and subject to change. Please note that our caregiver support groups are not appropriate for professionals or paid caregivers. If you need an in-home care sitter in order to attend a group, learn how to access a local sitter service at no cost by calling the Alzheimer’s Association South Carolina Chapter at least 2 weeks in advance at 800-272-3900.
