memory café

A memory café is a welcoming community space designed for individuals experiencing memory challenges, such as dementia or Alzheimer's, and their families or caregivers. It provides a relaxed, social environment where participants can enjoy activities, conversation, and companionship without feeling stigmatized. The café often mimics a friendly coffeehouse setting, encouraging interaction and reducing feelings of isolation. These gatherings aim to promote social engagement, support emotional well-being, and offer information and resources for managing memory-related conditions in a supportive, stigma-free environment.
