Caregiver Resource Center

Introduction

The Caregiver Resource Center offers a meeting place, lounge, library, and support services for caregivers.  The Family Caregiver Resource program offers information, assistance, support, appropriate referrals, and sometimes just a friendly ear, to anyone who is providing unpaid assistance to a senior.

Caregiver Support Group

The monthly Caregivers Support Group meets the first Friday of each month from 1 to 2:30 p.m. At that meeting, there is typically a presentation on topics of interest to caregivers. Newcomers are welcome to attend.

The trainings are usually held on Wednesday afternoons from 2:30 - 4:30 p.m. Pre-registration is required. For more information, contact Friendship Cottage at 207-374-5612.
