RVNAhealth and Ridgefield Library offer a monthly Memory Café for individuals living with memory changes and the care partners who support them. Held at the Ridgefield Library, these gatherings provide a welcoming space to enjoy activities, conversation, and meaningful connections in a relaxed, supportive environment.
Memory Cafés began in Holland in the late 1990s with a simple idea: create a friendly, social setting where people experiencing memory changes and their care partners could spend time together, enjoy familiar activities, and connect with others. Today, Memory Cafés are found around the world, offering opportunities for companionship and shared experiences.
Each month, our Memory Café provides a chance to step away from appointments, schedules, and everyday responsibilities and simply enjoy being together. Gatherings include a mix of fun, accessible activities and time to socialize, share stories, and make connections.
Danielle Taibi, a dementia specialist with RVNAhealth, brings her experience and compassionate approach to each gathering, helping create a comfortable environment where everyone can participate, connect, and enjoy the experience.
Individuals living with memory changes are asked to attend with a care partner, who will remain with them throughout the hour.
Whether you’re a familiar face or joining us for the first time, we look forward to welcoming you to the Memory Café!
