Hi
with great thanks to June Price and Marie for the kind invite to attend and speak at the Dementia Cafe Croy Ayrshire
i look forward to meeting everyone attending and learning more about they great work they and giving a wee "Make a Difference Talk "
You Can Read More about the Cafe below
The cafe started
in December with 9 people attending. It has grew in numbers to between 30 and
40 people attending every month now. June and Marie researched the cafe
and visited other cafes. they then worked on decor etc as they wanted the
cafe to be a friendly and cafe like experience for carers and their
relatives to come and have a cup of tea with home baking etc.
they also made up a book with who’ s who at the cafe so everyone will know
what services are attending the cafe on a monthly basis they also
have theme days at the cafe, the July cafe will be American independence day
with a taste and try corner will all delicious food things from America.
The last cafe had a memory table with all things from days gone by. We
have all the services here from Doctors, Physiotherapist ,speech and
language , care home liaison Nurses , Dieticians, C.P.N.s
Pharmacists, etc , so any one attending the cafe need any information
from any of the services they are all on hand to help with any problems that
may arise. But mostly it is just a nice friendly cafe for carers and
their relatives to come and be themselves and to know that they are not alone
on this terrible journey through Dementia.
