Program description
These cafés offer an informal place to meet up with other people with similar experiences on a regular basis. It's a great spot to have a coffee together, get information, share experiences and participate in 'healthy brain' activities within your local community or in a virtual setting.
Who can participate?
Individuals concerned about their memory, individuals living with cognitive change or dementia, care partners, family and friends are all welcome!
Participants must be able to engage independently in the program or be accompanied by a care partner. Please note this is not a respite program and staff are unable to provide personal care support, physical or medical assistance, and are not able to prevent participants from leaving the venue. If you require respite services contact our office at 905-687-3914 and we will be happy to help you explore your options.
