Caregiver Support

The Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia offers a network of Caregiver Support Groups. These groups offer a safe environment where you can learn, share, and help each other through mutual understanding.

They are a good place to:
• Exchange and share information and support
• Expand friendship and social networks
• Decrease loneliness and isolation
• Express feelings
• Learn from others
• Access current information
