Children of Aging Parents Support Group Helps Loved Ones and Caregivers Cope - Monthly meetings at Clare Bridge Cottage of Dublin

Children of Aging Parents (CAPS) support group will hold its December meeting on Wednesday, December 4th at 7 p.m. at Clare Bridge Cottage of Dublin, 160 Elephant Road, Dublin, PA.

Through local support groups, CAPS provides adults who are caring for elderly loved ones with a safe, comfortable place to share their concerns and problems with others who truly understand. The support groups provide caregivers with emotional, educational, and social support through regularly scheduled meetings. 

Participants share methods and skills for solving problems and receive encouragement to maintain their own personal, physical, and emotional health while they are caring for a loved one. For information or questions contact Barbara Marte at 215-675-6402.
