Check with the biggest hospital in the area (UCHealth or Northern CO Medical Center). They tend to have support programs or can refer you to some.
You're in a tough place out in Greeley. Not a lot around you, and you're the biggest town for miles. If it isn't in Greeley, you'd probably have to look at Fort Collins or Loveland, and that's quite a hike.
adler169, I live in a large metro area and there wasn't one caregiver support group. The main reason was it was difficult to set a certain time for a group to meet, as not all caregivers can leave the house to go to a meeting at the same time.
I found AgingCare to be THE best support group, and one doesn't need to set a time for a meeting, or get a sitter for the love one.

This is the Area Agency on Aging in Weld County. It is a great resource.
Many memory care providers will have caregiver support as well as churches.
