Support Groups for Dementia Caregivers in Allegany County

Belmont NY    Providing care for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease can be stressful and isolating, and support groups can provide coping tools and a welcoming embrace from others in the same position.
The Alzheimer's Association Western New York chapter oversees close to three dozen monthly caregiver support groups across the region. In Allegany County, the Chapter works with the Allegany County Office for the Aging to provide access to these groups. The groups meet monthly, and are designed to provide emotional and social support for caregivers and help participants develop methods and skills to solve problems. These are the meeting sites in Allegany County:

•Belmont
