Dementia Caregivers Support

Caring for an individual with dementia can be challenging and, at times, overwhelming. It is normal to feel frustrated when emotionally drained by the difficulties of being a caregiver. These feelings of frustration can have serious consequences for you or the person you care for. It is for this reason that Pearce Church is providing support to dementia caregivers who face frustation and even anger as a part of everyday life.

Dementia Caregivers Support Group

The Pearce Dementia Caregivers Support Group consists of individuals who are providing care for a spouse or other family members who has dementia. The participants of the dementia caregivers group are not professionals, but they are fellow travelers who provide encouragement, share resources, and listen and pray for one another. It is wonderful to know there are other people who face the same challenges that you face and together you can learn how to care for yourself and for your loved one. 

Monthly Caregivers Support Group

The Pearce Dementia Caregivers Support Group meets the third Tuesday of each month at 12:00 noon in Room 101 in the office wing. Anyone who has a family member dealing with dementia is welcome to share in this monthly support group. You are encouraged to bring a sack lunch or purchase a cup of soup at the church Café when it is open.
