Farmington Senior Community To Host Support Group For Alzheimer’s Caregivers

FARMINGTON, CT — A local senior living community is inviting caregivers of loved ones with dementia/Alzheimer's disease to its regular support group next week.

Farmington Station Assisted Living and Memory Care Community will host a monthly support group for people caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias on Thursday, March 19.

The program, called “Hearts, Hugs & Hope,” is scheduled for 6 p.m. at Farmington Station, 111 Scott Swamp Road.

The group will meet on the third Thursday of each month and will be available both in person and via Zoom.

Organizers say the group is designed to give caregivers a place to share personal experiences and concerns with others facing similar challenges.

Participants will also learn strategies intended to help them better care for family members living with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia.

“Dealing with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia isn’t easy, so it is helpful to share your concerns and personal experiences with others who completely understand what you’re going through,” organizers said in a program description.

The sessions will be led through the community’s Compass Programming, which focuses on memory care support.

Those planning to attend are asked to contact Katherine Jedynasty, director of Compass Programming, at kjedynasty@farmingtonslr.com in advance.
