Sharp Minds, Warm Company: A Look Inside Memory Café
Memory Café is CASL’s routine gathering for individuals affected by memory-related challenges, their loved ones, and care partners.
Health and Wellness
On July 14, CASL hosted its quarterly Memory Café at the Albert and Bernie Wong Senior Living Community, bringing together older adults, care partners, and staff for an afternoon of brain-healthy activities and connection.
Participants worked through cognitive exercises designed to keep their minds sharp, including Chinese character word searches and spot-the-difference puzzles. The group also got hands-on with a craft activity, decorating fans with pipe cleaners shaped into flowers and tied with colorful tassels — a project that combined fine motor skills with creativity and plenty of laughter.
Memory Café is CASL’s routine gathering for individuals affected by memory-related challenges, their loved ones, and care partners. The program is part of CASL’s broader partnership with senior housing communities across Chicago to deliver culturally competent care that supports healthy aging and reduces social isolation among older adults.
The next Memory Café is open to anyone looking to work on their brain health, socialize, and build community. To sign up, contact Alzheimers@CASL.org or call (312) 791-0418.
