Caregiver Services

Caring for a person with dementia or cognitive decline is often a series of challenges as you watch your loved one’s memories disappear. For both caretakers and their loved ones, this often produces confusion, anger and sadness.

Virtual Family Dementia Caregiver Support Group for Adult Children

Join us for a group specifically designed to provide emotional and educational support for the Adult Children of those living with Alzheimer’s and all forms of dementia.

The challenges are different from those of a spouse or sibling. This group will offer an opportunity to share feelings and concerns, learn about local resources and support each other in coping with the effects of the disease.

Meetings are held on the 2nd Wednesday  and 4th Thursday of the month. For more information, to register and receive the link contact Marlene at mceragno@jccotp.org or 201.569.7900 ex. 439

When I first began attending the Caregiver’s Support Group, it was like a group hug. I met other people who were also living with a spouse who has dementia. It felt like I had a place to share and be honest. At that stage in my husband’s diagnosis the group provided me the warmth and assistance in problem solving I so desperately needed
