Connect: Where Love Never Forgets is a weekly program for people living with Alzheimer’s Disease and other types of dementia. This program offers a unique opportunity for participants to not only receive support but also contribute to the growth of their community. By joining the program, individuals can engage in activities that promote cognitive stimulation, social interaction, and a sense of belonging. This program not only benefits the participants by providing companionship, but also provides caregivers a weekly break, where the they can run an errand, take care of business, or relax.
