Memory Café
A memory café is a welcoming place for people with forgetfulness or other changes in their thinking and for their family and friends. Our Memory Café is done virtually so everyone near or far has the ability to enjoy the program. All cafes share one goal: to help you feel comfortable and to know that you are not alone. Cafes are a place to explore a different topic each month and maybe learn something new as well
