The Memory Hub
Expanding the Number of Memory Cafes in Washington
Memory Cafes are a simple and low-cost way to provide an engaging social gathering that people living with dementia and their caregivers can look forward to on a regular basis.
Memory Navigator Consultation Services
Looking for information or support for the memory loss journey? At the Memory Hub, a care consultant from Kin On Health Care Center acts as “Memory Navigator." They provide free 30-minute appointments in Chinese or English on Monday afternoons.
