Memory Cafés

Once a month in a select number of cafés across Perth, a very special morning tea takes place.

The morning tea is for people living with dementia; an informal and social affair where people can feel welcomed and accepted, remain socially active and make new friends.

In recognising the need to encourage inclusion of people living with dementia in the local community, Alzheimer’s WA has partnered with local Government and businesses to bring the Memory Café concept to Western Australia.

Each of the cafés involved has an inviting and friendly atmosphere, employs delightful staff and offers delicious coffee and cake.

Do you, a family member or friend live with dementia? Visit a Memory Café, enjoy a coffee and some great conversation.
