It's wonderful that you're reaching out, Terry! Finding local support can feel tough, especially in smaller communities. While connecting with nearby members directly isn't something that can be done here, there are some ways to find support closer to home.

Here are a few options worth exploring:

- Alzheimer's Association (alz.org) has a 24/7 helpline (800-272-3900) and can help locate local support groups near Webb City or the Joplin, MO area
- Missouri's Area Agency on Aging can connect you and your wife with local resources and respite care
- Online support communities like myALZteam allow you to connect with other caregivers across the country who truly understand what you're both going through

Your wife's well-being as a caregiver matters just as much. Caregiver burnout is real, and making sure she has an outlet — even a virtual one — can make a big difference.

You are definitely not alone in this, even if it sometimes feels that way! 💙
