Memory Cafés

About Memory Cafés

Memory Cafés provide an innovative form of social engagement for people living with dementia, cognitive decline, or other forms of memory loss. Imagine a community of individuals experiencing memory loss actively engaging in singing, games, activities, conversation, and creative fun. Memory Cafés create a rich, diverse environment where friendships are built and enjoyed.

This engaging experience is designed to be enjoyed by those with memory loss as well as their care partners, family, and friends.

There is no cost to participate in our Memory Cafés and registration is not required.

What to expect at a Memory Café

Memory Cafés consist of facilitated activities, informal conversation, and light refreshments. 

Designed to be interactive, Memory Cafés allow for the person with memory loss and their care partner to interact in ways they had prior to the memory loss. 

Café themes have included guest speakers and presentations, musical performances, art projects, and games and activities that engage those with memory loss. An experienced facilitator and additional volunteers lead the cafés.

The settings are relaxed and comfortable with accessibility for those with mobility limitations. The environment and activities are optimized to help people with memory loss engage in the social gathering.
