ALZHEIMER'S SUPPORT GROUP
The Alzheimer’s Support Group at St. Francis Home in Tiffin is affiliated with the Alzheimer’s Association and meets the second Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. at St. Francis Home.
The support group’s purpose is to provide educational and social opportunities and an avenue for group sharing for persons who are coping with a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia.
Friends and family with a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia - whether they are living at home or in a care facility - are always welcome to attend support group meetings at St. Francis Home. Many who attend support group meetings find them to be helpful to them because they learn that there are others in the same situation. They hear how others have coped or are coping with similar situations. By sharing and learning from others’ experiences, they find it easier to work through issues and make decisions.

Chiara Connections Volunteer Program
The dementia services department at St. Francis Home is in need of volunteers to help with social and sensory activities in the Chiara Center, our special neighorhood for residents with Alzheimer's disease and other dementia.
Activities may include musical events, out-of-facility trips and outings, spiritual events, manicures, cooking groups, and guided strolls on campus. We strive to provide a home-like environment that includes psychosocial enhancements to benefit our residents' lives.
To join the Chiara Connections Volunteer Team or to request more information, contact: Kelly Yoder, Chiara Activities, at 419-447-2723, extension 3004.
