This is a pilot project designed to allow people with Alzheimer's disease or related disorders (ADRD) to discuss their concerns while their caregivers take some personal time. If you are recently diagnosed, or are a care giver and know of someone with ADRD, and would like more information regarding Alzheimer Disease this group could help you. Facilitated by 4 Korners and animated by a Therapeutic Recreation Specialist, the purpose of the group is to provide people with ADRD with information, a friendly ear and understanding, in order to help them learn to accept their disease and to better cope with its inherent challenges.

Following a snack, the second hour will allow cognitive stimulation in a friendly, enjoyable format.
