I am Carolyn, I live in unincorporated STL county near Florissant. I am looking forward to connecting with others in this area caregiving for loved ones with dementia.

I am 62, my spouse is 68 and is still in the early stages.

    I am Gary and live in Hazelwood in St Louis County. I am the caregiver for a loved one with very early stage Alzheimer's. We're both septuagenarians and looking for support groups as we travel this difficult road together. I was also the caregiver for my mother who had Alzheimer's until she passed.
