Alzheimer’s Society Support Group for Moyle

Adrian Friel Dementia Support Manager with the society said “This is an exciting time for the Society as we launch this new Moyle group, for too long the carers of a loved one with dementia in the Moyle area have been forgotten about, these groups provide an excellent resource for learning and support.

“The group is open to anyone who has a relative who has a diagnosis of dementia. Adrian explains that family members caring for a loved one sometimes do not see themselves as carers; they see what they are doing as an act of love, duty or sometimes obligation.

“I would like to see new carers coming to the group as there is a need in dementia care for upgrading skills and camaraderie between the carers. It’s an opportunity to have a chat and a cuppa with others who understand what you are going through and a place to gain valuable information.

“For too long dementia has been a hidden illness and it is only through carers and their loved ones coming together as a group and being actively involved in their local branch that they have a voice. The Alzheimer’s Society especially welcomes those with a diagnosis to play a more active role in their local service.”
