Memory Café:
Memory Cafés are social gatherings where people living with memory loss, Alzheimer’s and related dementias and their care partners can meet and enjoy time together. Cafés aim to decrease the social isolation that often accompanies dementia and caregiving. Our network offers FREE cafes that feature many different activities, such as music therapy, storytelling, sing-alongs, art therapy and more.
Current Partners:
AgeOptions partners with 15 diverse community agencies that host memory cafes. The cafes are hosted virtually or in-person. For additional information please reference the directory below.
