Memory Café is meeting place that provides a safe and welcoming setting for those with memory loss and their caregivers, family, and friends. Also for anyone who has concerns about their memory. A member of the Willow Valley Communities Memory Support Team and trained volunteers facilitate the Café. A structured program is provided, along with an opportunity for social contact. Visitors from the Lancaster Community are welcome to join.

The Memory Café is held the second Tuesday of each month at Willow Valley Communities in the Lakes Multipurpose Room – 300 Willow Valley Lakes Drive, Willow Street, PA 17584.

Memory Care Support Group sponsored by the Alzheimer’s Association, Greater Pennsylvania Chapter, is conducted by trained facilitators and provides a safe space for caregivers to develop a support system, exchange practical information on challenges and possible solutions, talk through issues and ways of coping, share feelings, needs, and concerns, and learn about community resources. Visitors from the Lancaster Community are welcome to join.
