@tak66 Hello! and welcome! You are among friends here. I found that locating the right support groups overwhelming. What helped was calling the Alzheimer's Association and speaking with the representative. After a few moments, she suggested that I speak with a coordinator. She submitted my information and then a session was scheduled. What resulted was the fact that my husband and I were both eligible for an early-stage Zoom support group. The first hour is for the person living with the diagnosis, and the second hour is for the care partners (they are separate). We BOTH found it so helpful and go so many questions answered in just the first session.

A note about support group for people with AD or Dementia - As the disease progresses, they are increasingly unable to empathize with others, so you won't find many, if any, groups for them. But you can get help determining the correct group for you by speaking directly with a coordinator.

Recommended reading: in addition to the 36 Hour Day, look at Teepa Snow series of books, and The Unexpected Journey by Emma Willis.

Best of everything to you and your husband!
