The Weary Warriors Dementia Support Group was formed in 2021 to provide free help and support to those members caring for a partner or friend living with Dementia or Alzheimers’.
The group now has 30 members, ladies and gentlemen, and all English speaking individuals are welcome. The Weary Warriors now have three sections:
The Weary Warriors for the carers of partners or family members
The Silent Warriors, for those members who have partners or family members in Care Homes
The Warrior Widows, or Widowers, for those who have lost their partners
The Weary Warriors resumed their meetings in September, on the 1st Tuesday of each month, in the private room of the Javea Golf Club from 10.45 to 12h,
The meeting dates for the next few months are as follows:
3 February
3 March
7 April
5 May
2 June
New members are made very welcome. We all understand the problems and concerns and help each other in so many ways, in particular with useful and practical information.
A new development : The Weary Warriors are now affiliated to Take 5, a Daycare Facility, run by Nurse Suzanne Riches and her team. It is held at the Javea Bridge Club, Ave de Paris 2, on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11-15h, and is designed for those with Dementia, Alzheimer’s and other age related disabilities. The Weary Warriors have always promoted Take 5, since its creation a year ago, as it is such a source of practical help. It offers not only activities, but many local people and groups offer enjoyable entertainment for the participants.
We also have regular invited guests from all the professions that can provide us with useful information.
Welcome to two new members !
We now have a newly retired psychiatrist and the Assistant Care Coordinator for Javea from Help, Marina Alta,
who will be meeting and greeting new members at the meetings. Their knowledge is invaluable to the group and
many concerns and questions are speedily being dealt with.
