The
philosophy behind the Alzheimer Café
“ Come out of the woodwork, you
are part of society and we want you to take your part in it.
Dementia is a part of life for some, for which nothing yet can
be done. You didn’t ask to “get it”; it could
happen to anybody. Don’t hide away”.
Bère Miesen

But in the words of the people that matter
" I can't remember seeing my wife as happy as
this in a very, very long time, thank you."
Carer, Cove
"This is how it's meant to work, everyone, the
families and all the professionals, talking together at the same time
to solve problems"
