MEMORY CAFE` THURSDAY JULY 20 and 27 FROM 12:30 PM TO 1:30 PM
Originally started in England, this informal setting provides the caregiver a forum for discussion, reducing the isolation often felt by people with dementia, their caregivers and families. Discussions can range from practicial tips for coping with dementia, avoiding caregiver burnout or information about community resources. There is no cost or obligation and many attendees develop friendships that result in support even outside the Memory Cafe` setting. Presesnted by Emily Bova, Certified Dementia Practioner from Arden Courts at King of Prussia.
