Support

Everyone needs a little support once in a while.

  • Solutions Group

    The Solutions Group is an informational support group designed to help family caregivers manage the challenges of caring for (or being responsible for the care) of an ill or disabled loved one. Special focus on  (but not limited to) the challenges of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s Disease, other forms of dementia, and chronic or acute illnesses related to aging.

                Sponsored by FaithWestwood’s Health and Wellness Ministry, the group meets every other month and is facilitated by Nancy Flaherty, MS, NHA, CDP a licensed social worker, a licensed nursing home administrator, and a certified dementia practitioner. In addition to facilitating the Solutions Group, other services Nancy provides include: 

    • Consultation with family caregivers to develop individual plans and find resources
    • Coordination between caregivers and providers
    • In person or phone consultation regarding placement/living options, especially when unexpected transitions occur.
    • General education, information and referrals
