South Haven Area Senior Services (SHASS) and South Haven & Countryside Nursing and Rehabilitation Community have organized a support group for those dealing with all types of care giving, not just Alzheimer’s. The support group is self-governing and run on a “self-help” model with the assistance of trained facilitators.

Often the needs of caregivers are overlooked even by the caregivers themselves. The "Caregivers Support Group" will provide support and information with emphasis and tips to help caregivers take care of themselves first.

The group meets the fourth Tuesday of each month, from 1:00-3:00 p.m. at The Warren Center, to explore common difficulties and experiences in being primary caregivers. Support will be available from group members, community resources and experienced facilitators, Ray Llorens and Terri Dotson.

For more information call SHASS at (269) 637-3607 or South Haven Nursing and Rehabilitation Community at (269) 637-5147.
