Bridget McShane - Northern Lakes Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, Tabi Suman - Heart to Heart Hospice, and Chad Schiebel - Hamilton Home Care join Andy St. John on WLKI 100.3 to announce the launch of a new community resource for local families.

Dementia is often described as "the long goodbye," presenting a complex umbrella of symptoms that can leave even the most dedicated family members feeling overwhelmed and burnt out. To provide a lifeline for those in the midst of this journey, these three organizations have partnered to host a monthly Dementia Care Support Group.

  • Support for the Supporters: Learn about the resources, education, and emotional support available to those caring for loved ones with Alzheimer's, Lewy body, and other forms of dementia.
  • Breaking the Burnout Cycle: The importance of seeking professional guidance and community connection before reaching a crisis point.
  • Practical Assistance: Details on the complimentary daycare services provided by Northern Lakes during the meetings, allowing caregivers to focus fully on their own well-being.
  • Navigating Symptoms: Tips on managing behavioral changes, confusion, and memory loss while maintaining your own quality of life.

Meeting Details:

  • When: The third Wednesday of every month at 4:00 PM.
  • Where: The therapy department at Northern Lakes Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, Angola, IN.
  • Who: Open to any caregiver seeking respite, education, or a listening ear.
