Caregiver Support Groups
Support groups are sponsored in many communities to enable persons facing similar problems to cope through the sharing of experiences, practical suggestions, and emotional support. Support groups can be general (family members or children of aging parents) or disease specific (Alzheimer’s, Diabetes, Parkinson’s, etc.) An example of a support group that the Office of Services to the Aging is helping develop in communities throughout Michigan is one for kinship caregivers including grandparents who have assumed primary care giving responsibility for grandchildren.

Because funding is limited and local needs differ, not all services are available in every community. For more information visit our service locations page, or call 1-800-33-UPCAP (1-800-338-7227). In Escanaba and surrounding areas, call 786-4701.
