The City of Phoenix Human Services Department offers programs and activities to the Valley’s older adults through their 15 Phoenix campuses. In addition to regular programming and special events both on-site and around the city, Memory Café is now offered at all centers.
Memory Café offers an environment for learning, support and social engagement for individuals living with early to moderate Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers. It’s a place to talk with others who understand what you are going through, forget about limitations, focus on strengths, enjoy each other’s company, and explore something new. The event may include structured activities such as music or art projects or educational events such as guest speakers, along with snacks and refreshments.
