Some adults are taking care of other adults who may be suffering from some form of dementia, chronic illness or cancer. The hours they spend each day throughout the course of their loved-one’s illness makes them a caregiver. Invariably, the caregiver burns out. What will happen to the “patient” if the caregiver is no longer there?
Our meetings provide other caregivers who have faced, and may have solved, the same problems you are facing. Anger, lack of social interaction, wandering, showering, and unsafe driving are a few of the problems often faced.
Our meetings are the last Friday (next one is December 27) of the month at 1:30 p.m. in the Family Service League office at 316-51 Accabonac Road in East Hampton. Meetings are free. Call for directions 631-324-3344 or for information 631-668-2498.
