The Memory Café meets monthly on the second Saturday of each month from 10:00 a.m. to noon, at the same time as the Forget-Me-Not group. While caregivers have the option to participate in Forget-Me-Not during the first hour, attending Forget-Me-Not is not required to be a part of the Memory Café. During the first hour of the Memory Café, participants enjoy introductions and snacks, followed by a variety of activities designed to stimulate memory, creativity, and social interaction. In the second hour, caregivers join their loved ones in the Memory Café, where they can engage in activities together, creating meaningful connections and shared experiences. This session offers a welcoming space for both individuals living with memory loss and their caregivers to connect and enjoy each other’s company.
