TOLEDO – Caring for a person with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia is a challenge.
Changes in the person’s thinking, behavior, and mood caused by the progression of the disease can lead to
frustration, anxiety and a range of emotions for the caregiver.
Men encounter unique issues, so an upcoming "for men only" caregivers group is planned. It will
meet Thursday, Nov. 5 and/or Jan. 7 from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Alzheimer’s Association offices at 2500 N.
Reynolds Road.
Male caregivers attending will find a relaxed, confidential atmosphere for a round-table discussion led
by Bob Haush, licensed social worker.
Various topics will be discussed, from communication and challenging behaviors, to progression of the
disease.
The group will also occasionally view videos, followed by discussion.
