Are you a family caregiver for a loved one with a form of dementia? Whether it is Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or one of the other forms of dementia, Senior Solutions knows how demanding that care can be and has teamed up with volunteers from St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Chester, VT, to offer a monthly opportunity that could be helpful.
Therefore, you are invited to attend the next monthly Memory Café on January 4th. This café offers a free and welcoming environment where caregivers can socialize, provide mutual support, and exchange helpful information. The Memory Café is based on the Vermont Alzheimer's model. While caregivers converse, Senior Solutions volunteers will be keeping your loved ones safely engaged and entertained with live guitar music, games, and fun activities.
Caregivers are welcome to come alone. Also, if you happen to have been recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's and are still able to drive and care for yourself, you are welcome to attend. Senior Solutions provides snacks and beverages for everyone, but you should bring a bagged lunch for those with dietary restrictions.
The Chester Memory Café will be held on the first Thursday of each month from 11 to 1 at St. Luke's Willard Hall, 313 Main Street (Route 11W), Chester, VT. There is a parking lot behind the Six Loose Ladies yarn shop on the village green on Main Street. The entrance to Willard Hall is accessed from the parking area. Just follow the walkway to the rear door of Willard Hall, behind and below St. Luke's Church, the grey church on Main Street.
The next three Memory Cafés are scheduled for the Thursdays of January 4, February 1, and March 7. Please RSVP to Joann Erenhouse at jerenhouse@seniorsolutionsvt.org if you are interested, so we can plan refreshments. We hope to see you on January 4th.
