Support Groups for People with Early Stage Alzheimer's and Their Carepartners in Massachusetts

These groups are especially for people with a diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or who are in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia together with their carepartner or a family member.  Attendees are divided into two groups– one for the individuals with Alzheimer’s and one for their care partners- to provide specialized forums to share feelings, concerns and information, and to support each other in coping with the effects of the disease.
