Support Groups

 

The Care Services Department facilitates a variety of Support Groups designed to provide encouragement, camaraderie, and valuable information for individuals who are dealing with — or caring for someone with — specific health conditions.

 

Caregivers Support Group

If you are a caregiver — whether a family member, friend, or neighbor — who helps care for someone needing assistance with daily living, Alzheimer’s disease, or other dementias, we welcome you to the Cass County COA Caregivers Support Group.

Caregivers of all ages can take advantage of this opportunity to learn, grow, and share with others who understand the caregiving journey. Meetings include time for personal interaction, as well as occasional guest speakers on topics of interest.

Free care for your loved one can be provided through our Adult Day Service during the meeting with prior arrangements.

Meets: 2nd Wednesday of each month
Time: 1:00 – 3:00 pm
