Suppose you have a loved one living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia.
In that case, you know how challenging it can be for the person affected and their family caregivers. The changes in memory, behavior, and abilities that come with these conditions can be difficult to navigate.
That’s why The Kensington Reston is excited to host our “Summer Club Memory Cafe” series continuing every Thursday until the end of July (note: except July 4th).
Bring your loved one to our beautiful community for a special dementia-friendly social gathering. Together, you can witness the difference that a supportive memory care community can make in the lives of those with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
RSVP today to join us this summer!
What is a memory cafe?
A memory cafe is a welcoming place where individuals with memory loss can get together in a supportive, stigma-free environment.
These gatherings provide engaging activities, refreshments, and, most importantly, a warm community for people affected by Alzheimer’s, dementia, or other cognitive impairments and their care partners.
Our Memory Cafe Summer Club will feature themed weekly activities, from music and art to brain games and reminiscing sessions.
Care partners—family members or professional caregivers—are encouraged to join the fun with their loved ones.
The benefits of a memory cafe
- Socialization to reduce isolation and loneliness
- Cognitive stimulation through activities
- A judgment-free space to relax and be themselves
- Peer support from others on a similar journey
For caregivers:
- Get respite from daily caregiving duties
- Connect with others facing similar challenges
- Learn tips for positive dementia care
- See their loved one engaged and enjoying themselves
Memory cafes create a safe space for people with memory loss and their care partners to spend quality time together, make new friends, and feel part of a supportive community.
Making the transition to memory care
For many families, there may come a time when life at home becomes too difficult or unsafe for a loved one with progressing memory loss.
That’s when considering a move to a dedicated memory care community like The Kensington Reston starts to make sense.
We understand how daunting this transition can feel, both for the person with dementia and for their family members.

Our Memory Cafe Summer Club provides the perfect preview of our community to get comfortable in our setting through low-pressure socialization.
