McGuire Group FREE Memory Care Support Groups and FREE UPCOMING Dementia Sensitivity Training Seminar

Caring for a loved one with memory loss can often be emotionally challenging. The need to research, learn and adapt is essential. Support groups provide ways for caregivers to share information and experiences about getting through the day-to-day realities of the disease process. They also serve as vital resources for community programs, pharmaceutical advancements and therapy options.
