Mid Coast Senior Health Center Support Groups

Families and friends of residents and patients at the Mid Coast Senior Health Center can find information, assistance, support and comfort through the Support Group which meets monthly in the Community Room of the Mid Coast Senior Health Center.

Membership is informal; you may drop in or be a regular. You may choose to speak up or just listen. Through the support group, others share how they have handled situations and feelings, thus helping individuals deal with the physical and emotional demands of caregiving.
The group meets the third Thursday from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. in the Community Room of the Mid Coast Senior Health Center. To confirm the meeting or for more information, call 207 373 3640 and ask for the Support Group Coordinator. There is no expense. Everyone is welcome; you need not have a family member or friend in the Mid Coast Senior Health Center.

The Mid Coast Senior Health Center also frequently hosts a series presented by the Maine Alzheimer’s Association. These programs are free and open to the community, whether or not you have a friend or family member at the Mid Coast Senior Health Center. While the focuses of the programs are on dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, caregivers in all situations will find helpful information and support. There is no expense.
