Round Rock Dementia Caregiver Support Groups and Classes (Updated for 2026)

Jan 7, 2026 | Caregivers

Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia can feel lonely, even when you have family around you. Many caregivers in Round Rock and North Austin are juggling work, appointments, safety concerns, and the emotional weight of watching someone change.

Support groups and caregiver classes do not “fix” dementia. But they can help you feel steadier, learn what works, and hear from people who truly get it.

Even if you are not ready for big decisions, getting connected to local support can make the next season feel more manageable. A good group or class gives you practical ideas and a place to exhale, especially when the days feel repetitive or uncertain.

Online support communities

The Alzheimer’s Association also offers options like virtual support groups and online community support, which can be helpful between meetings.

What to expect at a dementia caregiver support group (and what to ask)

If you have never been to a caregiver group, it is normal to feel hesitant. Here’s what typically helps:

What support groups are for

  • A confidential place to talk with people living the same reality
  • Practical ideas that have worked for others
  • Emotional support that is not “cheer up” advice

Questions worth asking before you attend

  • Is this group best for spouse caregivers, adult children, or mixed caregivers?
  • Is it okay if I mostly listen the first time?
  • Is there a cost? (Many are free.)
  • Is respite available during the meeting (or do you know a resource that helps)?

Let’s be honest. Senior care has increasingly become a business. A formula really, with frequent changes in ownership and management, slick marketing pitches, poor care quality, high staff turnover, and a corporate approach that treats residents like a commodity. Sundara is locally owned and operated by a team focused on making a difference; a real difference that families and their loved ones can appreciate. We are not in the business of selling fancy real estate with hyped-up programs and spa services. We don’t provide care from a menu. We don’t have a slew of add-on fees or upcharges. What we do have is a team of owners that share a 12-year history together and unmatched levels of accountability, consistency and flexibility. We also operate from a simple care philosophy based on the premise that residents are a part of our family…NOT a commodity. We look forward to getting to know you and your family. Real care by real people for real families.
