Caregiver Support Group

Caring and/or assisting an elderly parent?  This group provides information regarding town, state, and federal programs and resources, as well as housing safety, home care, and transportation.  We are available to discuss financial eligibility guidelines as well as short and long term planning.  The last half hour of each session will focus on concerns members have regarding the situation of their loved ones.
