Can You Relate to Any of These Statements?

  • I’m the only one who is doing anything.
  • No one can take care of him/her but me.
  • I promised I would never put her/him in a nursing home.
  • I don’t know how to handle  these new behavior problems (refusing to bathe, accusing others of taking money, etc.)
  • I need information but I also want someone I can talk to for support.
  • It took me quite some time to realize he/she is not acting this way on purpose.
  • I don’t feel that I can take  a break.
  • Am I next?

 

Caregiver Support Group

Group participants may take advantage of a substantial lending library of resource materials provided by the Mid-South Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association.
Balmoral sponsors a Caregiver Support Group for the congregation as well as the community at large. The group meets at the church on the third Thursday of every month at 7:00 pm.

If these statements sound all too familiar, do something positive for yourself and attend the Caregiver Support Group at Balmoral Presbyterian Church. Not only will you find others who relate to these statements, you will find constructive ways to address the issues behind them.

Participation in this group will benefit anyone who is a long-term caregiver for anyone with physical or mental needs such as:

  • Any form of dementia
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Diabetes
  • Other elder care issues
  • Physical disabilities
The support group meeting provides participants with emotional support and a comfortable, confidential environment to share thoughts and concerns. This emotional support makes the support group meeting different from other meetings that only focus on education. While education is part of the support group, it is never the sole purpose.

OUR GOAL is to...

provide an opportunity for family members and caregivers
to meet and develop a mutual support system that will help
maintain the health and well being of its members.
Meetings are the third Thursday of each month
at 7:00 PM.
