Do you have a loved one who has received a diagnosis of Dementia/Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s? Are you a caregiver or perhaps attempting to coordinate care for this person? Perhaps you feel like you are alone in this endeavor, or are baffled, maybe frustrated with navigating all the things required to provide care for your loved one.

The Care Ministry at PHPC is beginning a monthly support group aimed at providing community, relief, information, and fun for people who are in the midst of living with and for loved ones with these challenging diagnoses. Our first gathering will be October 16 at 6:30 p.m. in the Parlor. A light snack supper will be served. At this initial gathering, we will attempt to discover what will be most helpful for participants, so plan to bring your stories and your ideas to share. Since these diseases affect all ages and stages, this group welcomes all ages. Please contact Mahlon Hight, mhight@phpc.org with questions or if you are unable to attend on the 16th but are interested in The Long Road.
