Memory café

We started the Memory Cafe support group in 2015 for family and friends of people living with Dementia. Your loved one living with Dementia can come along to enjoy some social time with our residents, while you share your experiences with others over a cup of coffee/tea and refreshments. The Memory cafe is held once a month and is a free service.
