New caregivers support group meets at library
Hospice of Central Arkansas will hold a caregivers support group from 1-2 p.m. Thursday at Garland County Library, 1427 Malvern Ave.
Caring for someone at the end of their life can be a blessing, privilege and an honor. Caregiving can be a gift that rewards both the caregiver and patient. These experiences can also be difficult at times. Caring for a loved one with an incurable illness brings responsibilities and stresses that may seem overwhelming at times. But the caregiver is not alone. Hospice of Central Arkansas is here to support caregivers, help them learn how to care for their loved one and to provide a place for them to share their concerns and needs with other experiencing a similar circumstance.
For information, call 6232076.
