There is no charge for this group.

Facilitator Edie Hardwick, program manager for the Scattering the Clouds Program of the Lutheran Home in Southbury, said, “This will be a time for people dealing with these issues to get together to meet, share concerns, get to know one another, learn how to deal with certain problems and receive support from each other.”

Ms. Hardwick noted that Scattering the Clouds, an outreach service of the Lutheran Home, offers education and care management to families who have a loved one with dementia.
