Memory Cafe to help those with dementia, caregivers

Thrive Alliance, Fairlawn Presbyterian Church and Dementia Friendly Communities of Indiana are teaming up to offer social gatherings for those living with memory loss and for their caregivers.

According to Thrive Alliance, the programs are called the Memory Cafe, and are meant to offer a informal and supportive setting for participants. The first session will feature a flower planting program on Friday, June 13th. Participants will be able to share a snack, decorate flower pots, plant a flower to take home and learn gardening tips.

Other upcoming sessions will include Pet Therapy on Friday, July 11 and an Exercise Class on Friday, August 8.

The Memory Cafe program will be open the second Friday of every month from 1 to 2 at the church, on Fairlawn Drive.
