In the beginning of my search, I found a local hospital was holding a caregivers support group, which I attended and found very helpful, until COVID. I googled online support groups and found this group.
I am so very thankful for this group. Anytime, day or night, I’ve posted and received some solid ideas and thoughts on varied topics. Reading through also helped me discover what I may have to deal with in the future. It also gave me time to process things I did not even think about until I read them here.
FLCoolJ, welcome to the forum, hope you can find a group of like-minded people that are able to have meetings for caregiving support.
I remember when I was trying to find such a group in my large metro area. One group disbanded because caregiving was very time consuming that the people in the group could no longer meet at the same time :(
Found another group, but it would have taken me an hour to drive to the location.
What helped me was right here on AgingCare. I could just jump on to this forum at any time during the day and ask questions. It's been a godsend for me. Loved the idea that this forum is world-wide and we all share the same issues.
Norwalk, California lists the following on google as a senior center with outreach and information and support. If they cannot help you I am hoping they can steer you in the right direction. Good luck!

Well, so much for my little copy/paste magic. I am pleading my 80 years again. I think you will find it if you google the above, FL. Good luck again.

Good luck & stay connected with the group.
