Support Groups
Caregiver support groups can be a vital lifeline for caregivers of persons with dementia. Support groups help attendees understand they are not alone, share their feelings about what they are facing, and a great way to learn from each other. Our groups are volunteer-run and meet at a variety of times and locations.
Early Stage support groups are offered throughout the year and are accessible by phone. Led by a Certified Consultant, this 6-week service provides valuable information and an opportunity to share for people in the early stage of Alzheimer's and related disorders.
Respite Care
Alzheimer's Texas has worked for over a decade to assist in the development of community-based respite programs. Providing 3 - 4 hours of free care every week, these programs are volunteer run and provide meaningful engagement for a person with early to middle stage Alzheimer's or related disease. Caregivers are given the gift of time to take care of items related to their personal health and well-being. Many of these programs us our model and receive on-going training and support from our staff.
Early Stage Engagement
In addition to community respite development, Alzheimer’s Texas offers Early Stage services. Learn more here.
