Beyond Bingo, Inc., in partnership with Family Services of Lake County, The Sheridan at Green Oaks, and funded by a Grant from the Spungen Family Foundation, will be presenting a year of Memory Cafés.
Memory Cafés offer the opportunity, free of charge, for those with Alzheimer’s Disease and their caregivers to take a break from the rigors of caregiving, and reconnect in a relaxed and enjoyable setting not only with each other, but with others who share their situation. Thru specially designed and facilitated programming, presented by professionals specifically trained in working with this very special population, participants will have a chance to relax and enjoy themselves in a supportive environment that promotes engagement and positive experiences for those living with the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease. These sessions will also include educational materials related to the topic each month that provide not only tips on how to recreate their experiences at home, but also information about the disease, ways to manage the challenges of caregiving, and links and contact information for resources and support services in the area. The full year schedule will be released later this month. RSVP as space is limited. We look forward to having you join us!
