Legato Memory Café welcomes people experiencing dementia or other cognitive changes and their care partners/loved ones. This monthly gathering fosters connection and support through social engagement while enjoying light refreshments, followed by an activity/craft (rotates monthly).

February's Activity: Board-certified music therapist Dr. Jody Conradi Stark joins us on February 17th. Music evokes memories and emotions, fostering mood and connection with others. Participants and care partners/loved ones will engage in music listening, active music making with hand-held rhythm instruments, gentle movement to music, and singing familiar songs.
Although participation is free, registration is encouraged. Parking and arrival instructions will be emailed to registered participants 48 hours in advance.
