Distinctive Care Geriatric Care Management continues to offer a Caregiver’s Support Group on the first Monday of each month. April’s topic – “Taking Care of Yourself While You’re Caring for Someone with Alzheimer’s” was discussed among the nine caregivers in attendance and we came up with some good ideas for those facing similar circumstances. Some of the ideas generated included: acknowledging our limitations, accepting help from those who offer and/or finding resources that allow us some time away from caregiving responsibilities, finding a safe place to “talk it over” (like our support group!) and nurturing both our bodies and our souls. Sophia Heftler of Distinctive Care generously presented each of our participants with a fantastic resource book entitled “Take Care Tips: How to Care for Yourself While You’re Taking Care of Others.”
Please call 201-857-5283 for further information about joining our group. We welcome you!
