If you think you may have dementia, have been tested and know you have it, are a full time care partner of someone still living at home who has dementia, and are still active and engaged, Memory Café is for you. Europe is full of Memory Cafes because they’re a highly effective tool for helping to preserve a happier and healthier quality of life despite a dementia diagnosis. Though the US was slower in adopting the concept, many people here now recognize Memory Café is a tool for the dementia toolbox. Simply put, Memory Cafes make a big difference in how you feel if you have dementia or you take care of a loved one at home who has it.

Find out for yourself and come to either or both of two professionally guided Memory Café events that are offered in our area. Join others who face similar day to day challenges that may arise when non-discriminating dementia sneaks up and decides to live with you. Find out why people come to Memory Café month after month.

Please join us on Monday, February 12th, 11am-1pm at Carrabba’s Italian Grill Memory Cafe in St. Petersburg located at 1951 4th St. North by Sunken Gardens AND/OR on Monday, February 19th for Gulfport Memory Café at Neptune Grill Restaurant from 12:15-2pm, located at 5501 Shore Blvd. S. in Gulfport, Fl. Simplified menus have been created to make ordering less time consuming and stressful.

We will be celebrating the Gulfport Memory Café’s 1st anniversary on February 19th. This event is held at Neptune’s every month on the 3rd Monday.

The Carrabba’s St. Pete Memory Café is held every month on the 2nd Monday. Later this year we’ll be celebrating our 1st anniversary at Carrabba’s.

Expect to be warmly greeted, not pestered with a lot of questions, make new friends, increase your support system, enjoy some good food, laugh, meet new people with interesting life stories, learn useful ways to make life simpler, have a stress-free meal, and get additional resource information. THIS is what a Famously Friendly Memory Café’s all about.
