Are there any support groups specifically for caregivers?
Children of Aging Parents is a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting adult children and their aging parents. From its beginning as a self-help group, CAPS has grown into a national clearinghouse of information on elderly parent issues and resources for help. It also offers informational printed materials and video tapes. In addition, there are several support groups operating throughout the state for family members whose relatives have Alzheimer’s disease. Group members share coping techniques for handling the decrease in functioning of Alzheimer’s patients. Contact the Greater New Jersey Chapter, the Delaware Valley Chapter, or your local AAA for more information.
