Dementia Support Group

Build a support system with people who understand. Alzheimer’s Association caregiver support groups, conducted by trained facilitators, are a safe place for caregivers, family and friends of persons with dementia to:

• Develop a support system.
• Exchange practical information on caregiving challenges and possible solutions.
• Talk through issues and ways of coping.
• Share feelings, needs and concerns.
• Learn about community resources.

Contact Bonnie Nutt at the Alzheimer’s Association at 608-852-0616 or bnutt@alz.org or ADRC Dementia Care Specialist Whitney Thompson at 608-328-9372.

The Mug Club for Caregivers support group provides a forum for those who are caring for a loved one to seek out information and gain support from others who are in a similar situation.

We are dedicated to support older adults and their families in our community through a variety of programs and services.

Various topics are discussed as well as Care & Share. Care & Share is a unique opportunity for group participants to connect with other caregivers as we share our challenges and our joys of caring for a loved one. Take advantage of this time to gain support as we learn useful tips for self-care from each other.

Meetings are held the third Tuesday of each month from 10:30 AM-Noon. Dodgeville Public Library, 139 S. Iowa Street, Dodgeville. Call (608) 930-9835 for more information.
