The PebbleCreek Alzheimer’s Caregivers Support Group has not been able to meet for months, and we need each other. Sylvia and I miss everyone in the group and want everyone to know that we are still here for you.
So, I have signed up for a Zoom account, and we will start meeting online in November. We will have two meetings a month on Zoom—the first and third Saturdays of each month at 9 a.m.—until we can meet again in person. Our first Zoom meeting will be on Nov. 7 at 9 a.m., and the second Zoom meeting will be on Nov. 21 at 9 a.m.
Zoom is not as scary or hard to do as some people fear. I will send out some detailed information via our private email to help you start zooming. Both Sylvia and I will be available prior to the meetings to help you sign on and participate. I am sure that many of you miss the information and friendships this group has provided, but it is more important to stay safe.
I have great news to share, not only with the members of our support group, but also with everyone in PebbleCreek. We have been working hard to raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Association. The annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Sun City West was cancelled due to the virus, but we received permission to do a neighborhood walk here at Sunrise Park. The walk date was Oct. 17, and our group “The Creekers” has earned the honor of becoming a champion walk team!
Thank you to everyone who participated and donated.
You Are Not Alone
If you are not currently part of this group and have a loved one with dementia, please contact me to join. I share weekly informational emails and am available to help you through this challenging journey called dementia.
For the past 10 years, I have had the privilege of facilitating this group, and I know the benefits of a support group. Caring for someone with dementia in and of itself is isolating, and now we are further self-isolating to protect ourselves and our loved ones.
