Dementia Café North Lanarkshire
The living well with Dementia Café has now been up and running since August 2011 and regularly gets up to 50 people attending. It is aimed at those with dementia as well as those with memory concerns. It provides an informal and relaxed environment where people who have a diagnosis of dementia, as well as those worried about their memory, their carers, and informal care givers, can ask questions and get information and advice from health professionals about any memory issues they may have.
We want to reduce the stigma of a dementia diagnosis and give those with dementia – and other memory problems – their families, and informal carers, a place where they can gather, share their experiences and get some practical support in a friendly setting. Visitors will be able to pop into the cafe at their leisure and speak informally to a wide range of professionals and discuss all aspects of memory problems and get signposted to relevant services.
The cafe is open from 1pm to 4pm in Motherwell Football Club’s Centenary Suite on the first Friday of every month.
