Alzheimer’s Idaho Support Group

Alzheimer’s Idaho has combined a listing of various support groups which cover Ada and Canyon counties, and as new groups form and submit their listings, they will also be added to give our local families the support they so well deserve and need.

The meeting places for groups include assisted living, independent living, churches, and family residences.  The leaders are volunteer and give of their valued time to form groups that can meet with the purpose of sharing experiences, receive well needed support and camaraderie, and education.  They all welcome new members.

If you would like to receive an updated local support group listing, please email a request to:  Jerri Stanfield, Executive Director, Alzheimer’s Idaho at execdir@alzid.org and a copy will be sent to you via email.

In addition to our listing of various Alzheimer’s support groups, we would also like to offer contact information specifically through Well Spouse, a local non-profit that offers support specifically for wives, husbands and partners of those affected with Alzheimer’s/other related dementias.  They believe when one is sick, two are needing help.  You may contact:  Patti Bowman, Founder/Director at (208) 860-7439 or email: bpbowman@gmail.com and she will be able to give you date and times for their support group meetings.
