Palus, director of GeroPsychiatric Services for Conemaugh Health System, explains, The board's initial focus is promoting awareness. According to Palus, a total of three caregiver support groups will soon be available for families of people with Alzheimer's Disease. Currently, a support group meets from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. the second Monday of every month at Good Samaritan Medical Center, Johnstown. Due to the overwhelming demand, beginning October 26, a second support group will meet the fourth Monday of every month from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Sister Mary Grace King Room of Good Samaritan Medical Center, Johnstown. We've added two daylight support groups to help accommodate people's schedules especially during the winter months, Palus explains.
Some people feel more comfortable driving during the daylight hours.
