Inaugural Virtual Dementia Café

Nenagh and Ballina-Killaloe are joining forces for the month of July to host their first Virtual Dementia Café.

Join us at our inaugural Virtual Café on Tuesday, July 13, at 11am with your cup of tea as we hear from Aifric Devane, our speaker for this month.

This event will be hosted online via Zoom by Silver Arch Family Resource Centre in Nenagh and Killaloe-Ballina Family Resource Centre, with the support of the Irish Dementia Café Network. Aifric is a candidate Advanced Nurse Practitioner and Public Health Nurse, in addition to having a Postgrad in Dementia and is a Dementia Champion, and has many years of experience supporting people whose lives have been affected by dementia.

The theme for this month is person-centred care and services that are available to people living with dementia, along with the importance of communication in dementia. Aifric will be encouraging discussion and questions from our virtual café customers.

Dementia cafés are free of charge, and aim to provide a safe and supportive place for people living with dementia, their families, health professionals, and anyone interested in supporting people living with dementia in their communities.

For the moment, the cafés will be held online; to join, please email ballinakillaloe.dementiacafe@gmail.com to get the link to Zoom.
