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.
Support groups will be offered in the month of May through a confidential telephone conference line on May 6 at 1:00 p.m. and May 19 at 1:00 p.m. The Alzheimer’s Association has set up a confidential conference call number with 8by8 Conference systems. Allegany County will be offering the telephone Support Groups at the same times that the support groups have been scheduled on the first Wednesday of the month and the third Tuesday of the month.
