What is a Memory Café?
A Memory Café is a place where individuals with memory loss and their caregivers get together in a safe, supportive, and engaging environment. People can connect and interact with peers in similar life situations. There is no embarrassment and no explanations are needed.

Where did the Memory Café Start?
The concept came from the United Kingdom. The UK government coordinates and sets up Memory Cafés, which are in high demand. After talking with David Light who wrote the guidelines for the Cafés, Lori La Bey of Alzheimer’s Speaks here in the United States asked David if he would be willing to share program details with her.
ACR Healthcare Group, The Alzheimer’s Research Center, The Minnesota Memory Project, The Center for Dementia and Alzheimer’s Care of Health Partners, joined Alzheimer's Speaks to launch the first “Memory Café” here in the US!  
Norrms McNamara from the UK will also be joinging us.  He has Alzheimer's and he loves his Memory Cafe
Our mission:
To provide a social environment which allows individuals with memory loss and their caregivers a safe, supportive, and engaging place to interact with peers.  They named their first cafe “J. Arthur’s Memory Café

Kick Off Show with Rick Phelps Founder of Memory People
Rick has Early Onset Alzheimer’s Disease, known as EOAD.  Instead of fading away with this disease Rick has done something different by raising awareness about the disease and giving a face to it by making a video log of his life with the disease.  He has also created Memory People a closed group on Facebook for people who are memory impaired, their caregivers both family and professional, and advocates of the disease. Rick is 58 years old he lives in Coshocton County, Ohio with his wife Phyllis June, and his family and grandchildren nearby. Rick believes that Alzheimer's is not only a patient’s disease but a caregiver’s disease
