Dealing with a loved one’s Dementia and Alzheimers, when it’s part of YOUR life. The support group is a place where you can ask questions, give answers, exchange messages and get support from other family caregivers who understand exactly what you’re going through. Problem solving & professional help are available.

Livewell’s aim is to equip families, spouses and care providers with ways to sustain themselves when they face difficulty or when a spouse is diagnosed with dementia. “Sometimes all that a participant in the group needs is for someone to listen,” says Susan Swanepoel, Quality of Life manager at Livewell Village, Somerset West.
