The Nenagh Dementia Café and Ballina-Killaloe are members of the Irish Dementia Café Network. The Irish Dementia Café Network is a network of dementia cafés around Ireland, each of which is run according to a set of shared principles and guidelines. To find out more, go to www.dementiacafe.ie
They are hosting an information night on Monday 14th June at 7pm to raise awareness of two new dementia cafes in Nenagh and Ballina-Killaloe with keynote speaker Sinéad Grennan of the Irish Dementia Café network.
A dementia café is a monthly meeting that provides support for people who are living with dementia and their families. It provides an opportunity for people to share personal experiences, and get reliable information on dementia care and supports in a safe, supportive, and engaging environment.
This information session will give more information on the upcoming dementia cafés in your area, where and when they will take place, be it virtually, or when allowed, in a face-to-face setting. People living with dementia, their family and friends, healthcare professionals, and anyone who would like to be supportive of people living with dementia are all welcome to attend.
