About the Memory Cafe:

Do you take care of a loved one and wish you had a safe place to socialize with others? Please join us at our monthly gathering of caregivers and people experiencing challenges while we do activities and get together with other community members to discuss life.

This is not a medical program (though we may have guest speakers discuss topics with participants and may offer some resources) and is designed to provide a safe social environment for those who are caring for or people experiencing cognitive and/or physical challenges.
