Book Cover: The Alzheimer’s and Memory Café: How to start and succeed with your own caféThe Memory Café at the Rest.Stop.Ranch in Topsfield, MA is featured in a new book, The Alzheimer’s and Memory Café: How to Start and Succeed with Your Own Café (Jytte Fogh Lokvig, PhD, Endless Circle Press, 2016). The Memory Café at Rest.Stop.Ranch is unique among similar ventures in the US and abroad in that it offers beautiful wheelchair-accessible gardens as a respite for caregivers as well as the people they are caring for. It’s a peaceful, wheelchair-accessible garden that offers a safe and judgment-free environment where caregivers and their loved ones find a respite from the emotional turmoil and pressures of long-term illness and care. Memory Cafés provide regular gatherings in friendly spaces where people living with forgetfulness — and their caregivers — can relax and form friendships for mutual support.
