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.
