I would love to see communities like that all over the US. My mother has dementia and it is just the two of us...I’m sensing a feeling of isolation. I am grateful for community and support groups as we go through this journey.

Hi @providence1960 - You said it so well! I hope these communities thrive and become more commonplace in our country. As you note, the sense of isolation can be daunting. That's one reason I'm glad for the Connect community here online. I'm wondering if you belong to any of the Groups? The Caregiver's Group has great people who truly support each other.

Hope to see you over there!
