• Alzheimer's Cafe

  The Ribbon Cutting for the NEW Alzheimer's Cafe will be on Tuesday, April 24, 2012 at 11am.
  

  The very first Al'z Cafe will be on Thursday, May 3, 2012 at 6pm.

  Those with moderate to advanced stages, in addition to those in the early stages of the disease, are encouraged to attend. The unstructured nature of the Café allows attendees to take as little or as much as they need from the Alzheimer’s Café. In any case, it is an opportunity for them to get out and be part of the community in a non-threatening environment with friends and family.

  The Alzheimer’s Café is open on the first Thursday of each month, from 6-8pm in the Country Café at the Beltrone Living Center. The Café is warm and inviting, light refreshments are served. Reservations are not necessary and there is no cost to attend. Café attendees can drift in at their leisure, there will be a welcome by Al'z Cafe Coordinator Raema Mitchell and announcement of the optional educational program presented in another space on site. Attendees can stay in the Café and socialize or attend the educational program.
