Mission: RI Memory Cafes is a service organization supporting people  living with dementia. We are devoted to ensuring all Rhode Islanders have access to spaces that provide respite from the impact of cognitive impairment. We offer a consistent source of support aimed at cultivating social interaction, creating uplifting moments and educating our greater community. This is accomplished by building a network of gatherings across Rhode Island so that together we may forge a dementia friendly state.

Memory Cafés have returned to RI!

What is a Memory Café? ​

A Memory Café is an opportunity for individuals living with memory loss, and dementia, and their care partners, to meet others with similar concerns, socialize, learn new skills and support each other as they travel their own path with dementia. One of the most difficult parts of advancing neurocognitive disorders, better known as dementia, is the isolation felt by the individual with the disease and their care partner. The significant impact of providing care on care partners, regarding their health, socially and financially, is an additional hardship. Memory Cafés help to bridge that hardship with resources, skills, support, and friendships. The number one goal at all Memory Cafés is to have fun! Cafés are free and open to anyone living with dementia, their care partners, family and friends.
