Memory Cafe

About this event

PLEASE NOTE: Participants should sign up as a pair. Caregiver + person with cognitive issues. This event is not intended for individual attendance. The Ponte Vedra Beach Branch Library is partnering with the St. Johns County Dementia Care and Cure Initiative (DCCI) Task Force to host a monthly Memory Cafe at the library! Memory Cafés are awelcoming social gathering where people experiencing cognitive challenges and the people who care about them come together for friendship, fun, and acceptance. Both the person living with a cognitive decline, Alzheimer’s Disease, or related dementias, along with their primary caregiver or a loved one will attend as a pair. Cafés are not designed to offer drop-off respite care. At a memory café, we focus on bringing people together and meeting new friends through socializing, interaction, and activities. We do not focus on medical conditions. Therefore, attendees choose how they wish to participate and what they want to share with others.
