If you’re caring for a family member living at home with Alzheimer’s or another dementia, there’s something you need to know: you’re not alone. Alzheimer’s Family Center (AFC) offers dementia caregiver groups support from day care services to education, guidance and referrals.
AFC will listen to you, determine your needs, and identify strategies and services to help you navigate the many challenges to successful dementia care.
DEMENTIA CAREGIVER SUPPORT GROUPS:
Share experiences, receive encouragement, and problem-solve life challenges — and feel understood. Support groups are facilitated by AFC’s Masters level clinicians and are a proven way for caregivers to build knowledge and skills while receiving support from peers and professionals alike. To attend our support group call 714-593-9630. No RSVP needed.
ALZHEIMER’S CAREGIVER COUNSELING:
Our individual and group counseling options provide you with the best resources, education, and tools to cope with the inevitable stresses of family caregiving. Visit our Alzheimer’s Caregiver Counseling page for more details.
TRANSITIONAL SUPPORT:

3 Key questions for the family caregiver
1. Do you need a place that will take care of your loved one when you are at work, or need to take a break from non-stop care of your loved one?
2. Do you ever feel guilty about being frustrated or angry with your loved one?
3. Do you wish you had someone to talk to? Someone who really understands what you are going through – and can offer real answers, complete information, and a detailed plan to help make the life of your loved one as healthy, happy and productive as possible?
If you answered, “yes” to one or more of these questions, Alzheimer’s Family Center dementia caregiver support groups are ready to help. Call 714-593-9630.
