The Caregivers Support Group meets with the intent to learn from other caregivers and professionals in the field while providing the opportunity to gain strength and support for the weeks and months ahead.
Support group meetings at the Highlands Park Senior Center are currently suspended due to COVID concerns. A fund provided by the Valley Women’s Club can help defray up to $100 for a Valley family caregiver to take some time off.
For more information, call Barbara Hanson at 335-4949 or email.

The pressure on individuals providing care for an ill, disabled or dying family member is enormous. Having to BE there 24/7, alert to meet needs and deal with problems, trying to do errands, dealing with lack of sleep with no opportunities to relax or take a walk can affect the caregiver’s health adversely.
