ALTON - Are you suffering from dementia? Are you a caregiver for someone with memory loss? If so you can probably relate to the fact; that having this condition, or caring for someone with this condition, can have an isolating effect. Perhaps, you find it less appealing to socialize and easier to manage things on your own, without any other interactions? However, isolation has been shown to have many negative effects on a person’s health and well-being. The concept of the Memory Café was developed to combat isolation, and bring people together who are in these similar situations. The Memory Café is funded by a grant from Age Smart.
