Alzheimer’s Disease Support Groups

An Alzheimer’s diagnosis affects more than just the person who receives it. Family members, friends, and caregivers often face new emotional and practical challenges as they adjust to daily life and long-term care planning. 

At Banner Health, we understand how difficult this journey can be. Our compassionate team is here to support you and your loved ones with resources, education and a caring community that can help you find comfort and connection. 

Support groups for individuals and caregivers 

You don’t have to face Alzheimer’s disease alone. Banner Health offers a variety of support groups designed for: 

  • People living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia 
  • Family members and close friends 
  • Caregivers seeking understanding and strategies for care 

Each group provides a safe space to share experiences, ask questions and learn from others who understand what you’re going through. Many participants find comfort in realizing they are not alone, and that help and hope are available. 

Our support groups are guided by dementia experts from Banner Alzheimer’s Institute and Banner Sun Health Research Institute. Groups are often tailored to specific needs or circumstances - such as early-stage Alzheimer’s, spouse or partner caregivers, or adult children supporting parents - so you can find the one that fits your situation best. 

All groups are currently offered online via Zoom for your convenience.

Support line for Alzheimer’s help 

If you need immediate assistance or prefer a more private way to talk, our Alzheimer’s support line connects you directly with a trained team member. 

You can call to: 

  • Ask questions about symptoms, treatment or care options 
  • Get referrals to resources or support programs 
  • Talk with someone who understands the emotional side of caregiving 

Whether you’re just beginning to navigate Alzheimer’s disease or have been caring for a loved one for years, our support line can help you find reliable information and reassurance when you need it most. 

Contact your Banner memory care center to learn more about the support line and other available services. 

A community that cares 

Living with or caring for someone with Alzheimer’s can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone. At Banner Health, we’re committed to helping patients and families find hope, understanding and connection through our expert-led programs and compassionate support network. 

Together, we can make this journey a little easier - one conversation, one group, and one act of care at a time.
