WARSAW — Caring for those with Alzheimer’s or a related dementia can be a challenging as well as rewarding experience. Support groups are an opportunity for caregivers to receive disease education, learn coping strategies and tips from others who share a similar experience and vent frustration and concerns in a safe, confidential environment.

Free and open to the public, the following support groups are available in Kosciusko County.  These groups are sponsored by Alzheimer’s and Dementia Services of Northern Indiana, a division of Real Services, a not-for-profit agency offering a variety of programs and services for seniors in our community for the past 50 years.

Support group meet at the following times:

• 7 p.m. the first Wednesday of each month, Miller’s Senior Living, 1634 S. County Farm Road, Warsaw, facilitated by Sydney Roy
• 1 p.m. the first Tuesday of each month, Seasons Adult Day Center, 1101 Husky Trail, Warsaw, Facilitated by Karen Kauffman 

For more information about these groups or other free programs and services for caregivers, call Alzheimer’s and Dementia Services of Northern Indiana, (888) 303-0180.
