“There are so many families in the Kent-Queen Anne’s regions who are providing care for elderly relatives with Alzheimer’s and other conditions that cause a dementia onset, we really felt like a support group was needed,” says Golobieski. “Those us facilitating the group have completed the Alzheimer’s Association training, and we are looking forward to helping caregivers in our area with the support and information they need.” For more information about attending a meeting of this group, contact Golebieski, 410-778-4550 or sgolebieski@chesterriverhealth.org.
