Groups are run by the Alzheimer's Association, hospitals, faith organisations and area agencies on aging, and most are free. Some are for caregivers, some for people with early dementia, some for both.
The practical tips exchanged are often as useful as the support.
Why it matters
Caregivers who attend report less isolation and delay moving the person to a facility.
