Did You Know That There Are Memory Cafes That Can Provide a Safe Respite for Alzheimer's and Dementia Patients and Their Caregivers?
The right people, doing the right things,
the right way, for the right reasons.
Right at Home.
Memory Cafes are being established all over the United States. Originally established in The Netherlands 20 years ago, the concept is now gaining popularity in America.
If you are caring for an individual with dementia or Alzheimer’s, you know that it can be difficult and challenging to take your loved one to some place new, where the faces they still recognize and the things in their home they are aware of are not there. It can be very isolating for both the patient and the caregiver if they are not able to get out of the home very often.
What memory cafes do is provide a safe space (usually in a private room in a restaurant, coffee shop, a senior center or even a museum) that allows the patient and the caregivers to socialize, talk to other patients and caregivers, and be in a place where behavior related to their disease is not judged or misunderstood.
If you are interested in finding a memory cafe near you for your loved one, check the Memory Cafe Directory to find a location near you.
If you think your family member or you could benefit from this experience, please contact Beth Sholom, Owner/Executive Director of Right at Home of Central New Jersey at 732-967-0900 and we will work on establishing a local Right at Home memory cafe.
We at Right at Home of Central New Jersey consider it a privilege to be able to provide care and help to our clients with Alzheimer's and to provide respite care and support to their family members by having our caregivers work with their loved ones.
We continue to be dedicated and determined to " Smash Out Alzheimer's " and find a cure for this terrible disease through our fundraising events over the next few months. Please consider joining us on our journey.
