Telford Lions Club hosts first Memory Café at Archbridge Manor
The Telford Lions Club has launched a monthly Memory Café at Archbridge Manor care home, offering people with dementia a chance to socialise and engage in musical activities
Telford Lions Club has hosted its first Memory Café at Crystal Care Collection’s Archbridge Manor care home, offering people experiencing memory loss an opportunity to meet and support one another.
Held in Archbridge Manor’s tearoom, the event included a range of musical activities, followed by homemade refreshments.
Research has highlighted the benefits of musical activities for people with dementia, with programmes such as the Alzheimer’s Society’s Singing for the Brain helping to improve mood, memory, confidence and social connections.
Samantha O’Driscoll, Customer Relationship Manager at Archbridge Manor, said: “We were delighted that Telford Lions Club chose our home to host their Memory Café.
“The event was a huge success, and we’re proud to say that the Telford Lions’ Memory Café will now be held every month at Archbridge Manor.”
