Your loved ones will be able to once again connect with others in a comfortable setting beginning again this month. The Lakeshore Memory Cafes meet on the second Wednesday of every month in Algoma and the third Wednesday of every month in Kewaunee. The gatherings are for people experiencing early stage dementia or mild memory loss and their loved ones. Dementia Specialist Ariel Yang says the events help people who may isolate because of their diagnosis get out of their homes and meet others.
The Lakeshore Memory Cafes are free to attend and registration is not required. The ADRC of the Lakeshore will also conduct memory screenings next month to help address any concerns they have about possible symptoms of dementia. They are scheduled for February 16th at the Algoma Public Library from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m and the Kewaunee ADRC building on February 23rd from 9 a.m. to noon.
