Time Together Cafes

Dementia is the term used to describe the symptoms of a group of illnesses that cause a progressive decline in a person’s functioning, thinking and memory. The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease.

A diagnosis of dementia can be a challenging, disorienting moment, which may seem overwhelming at times.

However, having access to information, support, and care for people can really make a difference.

In 2012 Doutta Galla held the Italian Time Together Cafe and Greek Time Together Cafe. Thank you to all participants and their families who attended.

Topics included understanding dementia, memory loss, communication, nutrition, coping strategies and services available.

The cafes were attended by health professionals from Alzheimer's Australia, Carers' Victoria, local Councils and Community Aged Care services, Royal District Nursing Service, Australian Greek Welfare Society and others.
