Hamilton wellness center to hold Alzheimer's support group

The RWJ Fitness & Wellness Center in Hamilton will be holding a support group this January for families and caregivers of those with Alzheimer's.

The Family Support Group is an event where people can find emotional support and educational resources about Alzheimer's. Attending the meeting can help family members gain a better understanding of the disease. All support groups are hosted by volunteer facilitators who have received specialized training to ensure attendees are given professional assistance. Organizations that provide educational meetings like this can use brochure printing services to offer guests information they can review at home.

The event is organized by Alzheimer’s New Jersey, an organization that wishes to provide care and support to families throughout the state with local services. A few of the programs offered by the group include educating healthcare professionals about the latest in Alzheimer's research and hosting classes that teach people important care strategies. The foundation was founded in 1985 and has helped over 14,000 residents throughout New Jersey.

The Family Support Group will be held on January 15 at 6:00 pm. There is no price or registration needed to join the meeting, though people are asked to call the organizers before attending as schedules may vary. Those who want to provide monetary support to Alzheimer's New Jersey can donate online or with a check.
