Joe’s Memory Arts Café offers monthly gatherings for individuals with memory loss living in their own homes, their care partners, family and friends. The café is a supportive and engaging environment where everyone can interact, have fun, find support and enjoy a positive experience without feeling embarrassed or misunderstood. It is a place where the care partner can take a break from their care giving role, have some real fun with their loved one, make new friends and find resources.
