Support Groups on Camano Island
Sharing is Caring
Facilitators: Patti Pontikis and Cheryll Davis
Are you caring for someone with early-stage Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia? This support group meets once a month and is a great way to seek support from those who have the same concerns and challenges related to caregiving for someone with mild cognitive or memory impairment.
- Group meets 3rd Thursday at 11:00 at the Camano Center 606 Arrowhead Rd. Camano Island
- Caregivers may come without the person they are caring for. Person with dementia needs to come with a caregiver or partner. The group is geared toward early dementia clients (for example, the person with dementia needs to be able to self-manage toileting and have ability to engage in some verbal conversation).
