Watertown, Wisconsin Opens A Memory Café October 16th! | Alzheimer's Speaks Blog
Watertown, Wisconsin Opens A Memory Café October 16th! | Alzheimer's Speaks Blog: Watertown Memory Café to Open
October 16th, 2013
Walk-ins are welcome for the free Memory Café gatherings which will take place at Connection Café in Watertown. Memory Cafés are an informal social gathering where those with dementia and those who support them can gather to enjoy the camaraderie of others with dementia. Gatherings will occur on the third Wednesday of every month at Connections Café.
“Memory loss makes people uncomfortable,” said La Bey, founder of Alzheimer’s Speaks, a business creating new approaches to dementia care. “So often, friends and family disappear when someone is diagnosed with dementia.”
Isolation and lack of social stimulation are common problems for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other memory disorders and for their caregivers. People with memory loss may feel embarrassed or inhibited from socializing, afraid they will say or do the wrong thing. Caregivers may feel cut off from the world. Both parties often suffer from a lack of creative outlets and social contact.

Alzheimer's cafés offer a safe and supportive space for patients, caregivers and loved ones to share similar experiences and chat over refreshments. Each café varies in setting, from schools to pubs. The concept has resonated most with Europeans: More than 60 cafés exist in the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom is home to some 20. The United States launched its first in Santa Fe, N.M., in 2008.

Alzheimer Cafe in Halfmoon Bay, CA Every month clients suffering from Alzheimer’s and other dementia causing diseases will meet and enjoy a cafe type atmosphere. One end of the center will be transformed into a cafe while other areas will be set up with areas for socializing, crafts, and games. Clients and family will be able to mingle, share experiences, and forge friendships with others facing dementia in themselves or loved ones from the area. The idea of an Alzheimer’s cafe is not a new one. Developed in the 1990s, communities and facilities have refined the cafe concept to fit their needs. Dementia has many symptoms, the support provided and contacts created during these events can help families and patients feel more at ease. The event in Halfmoon Bay was organized by dementia experts in hopes that the large community of seniors in the area can use the resources presented. The cafe events are not a day care event, all that attend will stay and participate or observe. There will be tea, coffee, and snacks for all to enjoy, completing the cafe. There will be: Arts and crafts activities Games Resource information On-site experts
The first Alzheimer's café has opened up in Albany. In honor of the grand opening, a ribbon cutting ceremony took place at the Beltrone Living Center in Albany. "Al's Café" was designed specifically as a place to network for individuals and their families dealing with Alzheimer’s. Organizers said the café idea first started in Europe but it is now gaining momentum in the states. "Help get the word out to family members who are starting to experience Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, that there is a place for them to go where they can sit down and have a conversation with other members who are dealing with the same sort of illnesses," said Edward Neary, Executive Director, CSSC-Colonie Senior Service Centers. Neary said the Alzheimer’s Association of Northeastern New York approached them with the idea.</a>

www.alzheimercafe.co.uk/ A typical evening at the Café starts with an informal chat over light refreshments. A presentation by a professional then follows, combined with a relaxed interview with a willing family member who has hands-on, real experience of the subject being discussed. The evening continues with further social interaction and refreshment and the opportunity to informally chat to the guest speakers. Occasionally evenings are enhanced further by live music or other entertainment. The Alzheimer Café UK is open to all carers, persons with dementia and their family and friends. It is also for all professionals involved i.e. district and practice nurses, old age psychiatrists, speech therapists, care assistants, physiotherapists, community health workers, day centre staff, care managers and social workers, carers support workers, doctors etc.

www.alzheimercafecanada.org/The first-ever AC in Canada began in January, 2011, in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. Danielle Martensson, one of the co-authors and a recent graduate of St. Francis Xavier University School of Nursing, visited an AC in the UK when she was twelve. It made a strong impression on her because her previous experience of people with dementia in a nursing home had been an intimidating one. As a student nurse, she was eager to initiate the concept in Canada, especially after attending the AC-UK National Conference in May, 2010. Prof. Elizabeth McGibbon, and nursing faculty members and clinical associates at St. Francis Xavier University The Committee is currently in the process of developing a pan-Canadian strategy for supporting the planning, implementation, and evaluation of Canadian ACs.
Alzheimer Café in Nova Scotia town first of its kind in Canada OLIVER MOORE ANTIGONISH, N.S. It's a café where the most important offering isn't on the menu. Several dozen people gathered recently in this town a few hours northeast of Halifax at the country's first Alzheimer Café, a model of support increasingly widespread in Europe. The idea is to bring together people with Alzheimer's disease, their caregivers and members of the public in a non-institutional setting that feels like a regular café, with food, drink and entertainment. There is a short information session, but the goal is explicitly social.

Cafe' new social spot for Alzheimer's patients Bethany Bump, Gazette Reporter The diagnosis will be hard enough to hear: Alzheimer's. It's a disease that changes the dynamics of daily life for both the sufferer and the caregiver. Family members begin looking for support groups, making lists, arranging living situations. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, several European countries began looking at a new way to ease somebody into what they might expect from the common and incurable form of dementia. England, the Netherlands and Scandinavia all offered something known as an "Alzheimer's Cafe," a social gathering for those with the disease to gather, relax, and learn about the first few things to expect. "The concept intrigued us," said Colonie Senior Service Centers Executive Director Edward Neary. "This idea of a space where people could come and learn about it at their own pace is really better for those people who aren't as advanced in their diagnoses." Lacking the stigma and structure of the "support group" label, the cafes became increasingly popular and spread to the United States where only a spattering of cities have tried them. The first Alzheimer's Cafe in the state -- a collaboration between Colonie Senior Service Centers and the Alzheimer's Association of Northeastern New York.
What happens at the Alzheimer's Cafe? Very different from a traditional support group, the Alzheimer’s Café is not a support group at all. It is an opportunity for people and families living with Alzheimer’s to get out and socialize in a safe and supportive space that is warm and friendly, like a café or coffee house. They are welcomed into a distinctly non-institutional, accepting, social setting to chat, relax, and enjoy refreshments. Here they find empathetic support from those who share similar experiences. Such a sanctuary gives them permission to be themselves and can help those with dementia stave off further isolation and mental decline. The Alzheimer’s Café will be 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, after about 30 minutes there will be a welcome and announcement of the optional educational program (held in another room). Attendees can stay in the Café and socialize or attend the education program.

www.alzheimercafecanada.org/The first-ever AC in Canada began in January, 2011, in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. Danielle Martensson, one of the co-authors and a recent graduate of St. Francis Xavier University School of Nursing, visited an AC in the UK when she was twelve. It made a strong impression on her because her previous experience of people with dementia in a nursing home had been an intimidating one. As a student nurse, she was eager to initiate the concept in Canada, especially after attending the AC-UK National Conference in May, 2010. Prof. Elizabeth McGibbon, and nursing faculty members and clinical associates at St. Francis Xavier University The Committee is currently in the process of developing a pan-Canadian strategy for supporting the planning, implementation, and evaluation of Canadian ACs.

Cafe' new social spot for Alzheimer's patients Bethany Bump, Gazette Reporter The diagnosis will be hard enough to hear: Alzheimer's. It's a disease that changes the dynamics of daily life for both the sufferer and the caregiver. Family members begin looking for support groups, making lists, arranging living situations. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, several European countries began looking at a new way to ease somebody into what they might expect from the common and incurable form of dementia. England, the Netherlands and Scandinavia all offered something known as an "Alzheimer's Cafe," a social gathering for those with the disease to gather, relax, and learn about the first few things to expect. "The concept intrigued us," said Colonie Senior Service Centers Executive Director Edward Neary. "This idea of a space where people could come and learn about it at their own pace is really better for those people who aren't as advanced in their diagnoses." Lacking the stigma and structure of the "support group" label, the cafes became increasingly popular and spread to the United States where only a spattering of cities have tried them. The first Alzheimer's Cafe in the state -- a collaboration between Colonie Senior Service Centers and the Alzheimer's Association of Northeastern New York.
What happens at the Alzheimer's Cafe? Very different from a traditional support group, the Alzheimer’s Café is not a support group at all. It is an opportunity for people and families living with Alzheimer’s to get out and socialize in a safe and supportive space that is warm and friendly, like a café or coffee house. They are welcomed into a distinctly non-institutional, accepting, social setting to chat, relax, and enjoy refreshments. Here they find empathetic support from those who share similar experiences. Such a sanctuary gives them permission to be themselves and can help those with dementia stave off further isolation and mental decline. The Alzheimer’s Café will be 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, after about 30 minutes there will be a welcome and announcement of the optional educational program (held in another room). Attendees can stay in the Café and socialize or attend the education program.
