Help for Caregivers Available
Friday, February 16th, 2007
Are you responsible for the care an elderly loved one? Are your hands full running their errands, doing their housework, and administering other personal care? Are you experiencing a loss of freedom? If so, you may want to consider Senior Services of Albany’s Family Caregiver Telephone Groups. The monthly groups allow caregivers to learn helpful strategies and connect with others who are also caring for an elder under the guidance of a professional social worker, and from the comfort of their own home. You cannot care for others without first taking care of yourself, so call the Caregiver Connection at 465-1398 for more information on how to nurture yourself during this challenging time. Program funded by the Albany County Department for Aging. New in 2007 is a group co-led by the Northeastern New York Alzheimer’s Association chapter, with expertise in topics related to memory loss.
