'Keeping our Brains Healthy' is the topic at Regency Fallbrook support groups

FALLBROOK – Regency Fallbrook hosts monthly support group meetings on the third Thursday of each month at 5:30 p.m. as a source of information and resources for those families and caregivers who know or are caring for a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

For many, the best source of support is through regular support group meetings. Not only is it an opportunity to understand they are not alone in the daily struggles of caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia, but they can build relationships and learn from others who understand what they are going through, develop new coping strategies and find comfort, strength and hope in a compassionate and safe environment.

This month’s topic will be “Keeping our Brains Healthy,” presented by licensed vocation nurse Johnny Clay. Clay graduated from University of California Irvine with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. His 25-year experience working with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia patients has given him much knowledge about the impact of the disease on the patient and their family.

This support group is open to anyone to attend and is free. Come Thursday, April 18, at 5:30 p.m. at Regency Fallbrook, 609 E. Elder Street, in Fallbrook. Please RSVP with Michelle Way: [email protected] or (760) 728-8504.
