Alzheimer Café

An Alzheimer Café is a type of post-diagnostic group intervention, held monthly, that provides education, information about dementing illnesses, as well as various types of support for people with dementia and their carers, and interested others. Alzheimer Cafés take the form of ‘a social gathering’ in a café-like setting where people meet easily. They help support people with dementia and their family or friend carers to stay connected. Alzheimer Cafés are organized and held by a steering committee who are knowledgeable about dementia, and organize the provision of the Alzheimer Café with local volunteers and caregiving professionals.

From April 3-17, 2018, CAREY welcomes Dr. Gemma Jones for a multi-day, multi-site, series of workshops, seminars, and information sessions, on Alzheimer's disease and dementia care, with the goal of establishing Alzheimer Cafés in Greater Vancouver and beyond.
