What it is not:
- The Alzheimer’s Cafe is not adult daycare
- It is not a promotion for any cause or business (we do not display pamphlets or other advertising)
- It is not respite care,a place for caregivers to drop off someone who needs care and supervision
- Although the Cafe is a supportive environment, it is not a support group
- The focus is on social activity and creative experiences, rather than problem-solving and education
