What is a Memory Cafe?
A Memory Cafe, or a dementia-friendly cafe, is a gathering place designed specifically for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, mild cognitive impairment, or other
forms of memory loss, along with their care partners and loved ones. These cafes provide a relaxed, judgment-free environment where participants can connect with others navigating similar experiences. This enriching program is designed for individuals showing early signs of mild memory loss and their caregivers. Participants will enjoy a variety of activities, recreation, peer support, and socialization, all complemented by uplifting music from a certified Music Therapist.
Features of Memory Café include:
Structured Programming: Engage in creative musical exercises that promote
communication and reminiscence, led by a certified Music Therapist
Opportunities for Connection: Share in meaningful conversations and build
lasting relationships.
Expert Resources: Gain valuable tools and resources to take home.
Complimentary lunch and refreshments
The Kensington Memory Café is a structured yet welcoming space for residents to
connect, engage their minds, and express their creativity. By providing this dedicated
gathering space and programming, they aim to enhance the daily lives of aging adults
and give their loved ones peace of mind.
The monthly café is staffed by a specially trained team who understands the challenges
of memory loss and how to create a warm, supportive environment. The program
represents a wide array of services and support available at The Kensington White Plains.
The Kensington is a premier assisted living and memory care community, serving aging
adults and their families in Westchester County since 2011. They are privately owned
and operated by a close-knit group of lifelong senior living career professionals. Their
promise is “to love and care for your family as we do our own.” Every day, their team
delivers more comprehensive care than what other assisted living providers offer. They
offer two specialized levels of memory care that address the challenges unique to each phase of loss. Couples are welcome and can reside together in the same suite, even if
their care needs differ. They warmly invite you to learn more and join The Kensington
family.
Join them on the first Tuesday of every month for Memory Café. Deepen your bonds
and cultivate new support networks in a safe, supportive, and engaging environment.
