SUMMARY:Caregiver Support Group
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Caring… it’s not the hard part of caregiving. \nCaregivers primary challenges lie in the logistical\, emotional\, physical and financial demands\, not the love or compassion for their loved one.\nThe Caregiver Support Group’s focus is providing tangible resources\, coping mechanisms\, problem solving skills and educational tools to help caregivers feel more confident and less stressed in their roles. \nThe Caregiver Support Group meets monthly from 6-7:30 PM\, facilitated by Mary Bogdan\, MHA\, BSN\, CHPN\, CHPCA.\nOur group is FREE and open to anyone in a care giving role. \n\nMore than 59 million Americans provide care for an adult with a complex medical condition or disability\, with another 4 millions caring for a child.\n\n\n\nThe National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP have released Caregiving in the U.S. 2025\, a research report released every five years. Compared to past reports\, the proportion of Americans who are caregivers has climbed\, now standing at 24% of the U.S. adult population. \nCaregiving has also become more intense over time\, with 55% of caregivers handling medical or nursing tasks\, as well as activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing and toileting. Seventy percent of adult caregivers under age 65 are working\, and half cite impacts on their work obligations. \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n	Notice: JavaScript is required for this content.\n\n\n    \n\n\n        \n        \n        \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        \n\n        \n\n        [/vc_column][/vc_row]
