- Abstract
Informal caregivers are an exponentially increasing need for older adults and individuals who take on this role report high rates of burnout and a need for community support. This doctoral capstone project evaluated the needs of informal caregivers who provide care for persons with dementia at Clermont Park Life Community across various levels of care through the implementation of a social support group. Data collection included a pre and post-test survey and a weekly qualitative questionnaire to better understand needs of caregivers; observational data is also described in this report. Findings included data on sustaining a support group for caregivers, which provided an outlet for informal caregivers to share and listen to stories from peers. Clermont Park and its patrons benefited from this support group series and received recommendations for the future to continue to support caregivers at this site.
