Chicago, IL – Artis Senior Living of Lakeview and the Alzheimer’s Association Illinois Chapter are pleased to announce the launch of a NEW Caregiver Support Group for those caring for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and all other forms of dementia. The group will hold its first meeting on Wednesday, February 19, 2025, at 6:00 PM.
The Caregiver Support Group will continue to meet on the third Wednesday of every month at 6:00 PM at Artis Senior Living of Lakeview, located at 3535 N Ashland Avenue, Chicago, IL 60657, in the 3rd Floor Art Studio. These meetings provide caregivers with a safe space to share experiences, gain emotional support, and learn valuable strategies for navigating the caregiving journey.
"Providing care to a loved one with dementia isn’t easy but having the support of others who understand that experience can help to make each day a little less hard. We know that some people are just starting off on this journey while others have been caring for their loved one for many years. No matter where you find yourself, we want people to know that they are not alone and that they have a welcoming, caring environment to which they can come to express their thoughts and feelings, gather practical suggestions, and build connections. We believe in the amazing power of community and the strength it gives caregivers to overcome challenges, provide needed self-care, and focus on the positive so that they can create joyous and meaningful experiences for their loved ones and themselves” said Amber Wright, Artis of Lakeview’s group facilitator,
Amber Wright, Director of the Artis Way Experience, serves as the main contact for the group and can be reached at awright@artismgmt.com or by phone at (773) 697-9003 ext. 1527.
The ongoing group meetings are free and open to the public. For additional information, visit their website at https://artisseniorliving.com/memory-care-lakeview/ or register by calling the Alzheimer’s Association helpline at 800-272-3900.
