Main Street Memory Café
The foundation’s signature event, the Main Street Memory Café is an innovative — and FREE — program for people experiencing the early stages of diminished memory capacity, and their care partners. It serves as a safe and comfortable space where participants can socialize, listen to music, play games, participate in fun activities and enjoy a healthy snack. Space is limited.
COURAGEOUS
CONVERSATIONS
Being a caregiver is a challenging yet rewarding role that requires compassion, resilience, and effective communication skills. One approach that has been instrumental in supporting caregivers is our “Courageous Conversations.” This methodology focuses on fostering open, honest, and meaningful dialogues between caregivers and their loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias. Let’s delve into how Courageous Conversations empower caregivers and enhance the quality of care provided.
Art in Mind
Designed for people with early-onset Alzheimer’s or dementia and a companion, this free program strengthens social, emotional and spiritual bonds by engaging with art. We partner with the Foundry Art Centre to provide meaningful art-centered activities that create positive emotional and cognitive experiences, enhance verbal and non-verbal communication, reduce isolation and build community. Check our monthly calendar for dates and times.
W.I.S.E LindenWELL Program
We partner with Lindenwood University to connect generations through shared learning experiences, from athletic events and performing arts to virtual reality and the “Cyber Seniors” program. The W.I.S.E program (which stands for Wellness Inspired Social Enrichment) is a service-learning opportunity for students aligned with the university’s mission to give student Real Experience, Real Success. For more information on W.I.S.E., email wise@lindenwood.edu.
