May 28, 2026 HMMPL to host a Memory Café
What is a Memory Café?
Memory Cafés are welcoming social gatherings for people living with changes in their memory or thinking, and the people who care about them. A Café is a place to have fun together, talk with others who understand what you’re going through, and try something new!
Who should come to a Memory Café?
Cafés are for people living with changes in their memory or thinking, people living with dementia, and the people who care about them – family, friends, or professional caregivers. Cafés are not designed to offer drop-off respite care – but rather to support both the person living with changes in memory or thinking or with dementia, and the people who care about them.
Memory Cafés focus on people, not medical conditions. Participants can decide if they want to talk about changes in memory and thinking or not. No one is asked if they have a diagnosis.
