Seeing a loved one’s decline into dementia or Alzheimer’s disease can be heart wrenching. It can also mean that someone from the family has to take on the role of a caregiver. The task is challenging, rewarding and exhausting at the same time and several caregivers feel the need to connect with others in the same situation. Becoming part of a Dementia Support Group can help you learn to navigate the situation better and give you a peer group dealing with similar issues.

What is a dementia support group?

The aim of dementia support group is to provide the care givers an environment of support and platform to share their feelings.It is essentially a group for the people who are taking care of Dementia patients. The group helps the caregiver understand and cope with the complexities of the disease, provides them with a supportive atmosphere where they can express the stress of taking care of their loved ones with Dementia.

Why is it needed?

Dementia is characterised by a progressive decline in cognitive, physical and functional abilities. As a dementia patient loses one ability after another, a caregiver has to face tests of stamina, problem solving, and resiliency. With increasing responsibilities it is easy to become overwhelmed and neglect their own health and well-being. The burden of caregiving can put caregivers at increased risk for significant health and psychological problems. A Dementia support group is a safe place for caregivers to meet and develop a mutual support system. The care givers can gain information on methods of coping with the disease. We bring you some Dementia Support Groups across India.
