Goals of this group are to share personal feelings that relate to caring for a person living with dementia in a long-term care (LTC) home. Should you choose to participate in this group please know that we expect you to observe the strictest confidentiality.

To guide discussion, the group will focus on a different theme relating to LTC on each month:
June 13 – Transition to LTC
July 11th – How to prepare for Plan of Care Meetings and what to expect
August 15th – Family Councils
September 12th – Grief and Ambiguous Loss
October 10th – Advanced Health Care Planning
November 14th – What are responsive behaviours and why do they happen?
December 12th – Activities to engage the person you are supporting

In order to participate in this group, the person you support must have some cognitive impairment and you or the resident must live in the M postal code. Once you register for the session the facilitator will reach out to you by phone for a short pre-screening and to confirm your attendance.
Support Group is presented in-person at the Hub 2658 Eglinton 2658 Eglinton Ave E, Scarborough, Ontario, M1K2S3
