How to find other in person care partners?

Posted by qinektd @qinektd, Jun 20 8:56am

What do you do to find other care partners to provide emotional and perhaps practical support in person? With so many people living with dementia, it would seem like it would be easy to find other people in a similar situation even to just meet for coffee. What have you found to be helpful? Thanks

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Caregivers: Dementia Support Group.
