A Memory Café is a free, casual gathering where people with memory loss and the family or friends who care for them can come together in a safe, supportive, relaxed environment. Guests share conversations over a cup of coffee and games, crafts, music or other simple activities. Memory Cafés are not a form of respite care. Instead, they offer a place where both caregiver and care recipient can enjoy one another’s company and interact with others who share similar experiences.
In September, come and have fun with herbs! We will be sharing about the variety of their uses from ancient times to present. Also we will talk about how to take care of them as we harvest their leaves or blossoms to use especially in our kitchens. We will end our time together choosing an herb to plant (via seeds) and nurture over winter to enjoy in our homes. Supplies will be provided. Instructors will be Candace Gislason and Gine Meissner, both Master Gardeners!
The Cook County Memory Café meets at The Hub the third Thursday of each month through the support of the Lloyd K. Johnson Foundation, Live Well at Home and the Grand Marais Hub/Senior Center. For more information, call Care Partners at 387-3788 or click here.
