Steeg Law is happy to shine the community spotlight on the New Orleans Jewish Community Center’s Adult Memory Programs.
The New Orleans Jewish Community Center in Uptown offers members of the community dealing with memory issues, as well as their caregivers, the opportunity to participate in two programs facilitated by experts, including a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
Alzheimer’s Care & Enrichment Program
The Alzheimer’s Care & Enrichment Program (ACE) offers respite for caregivers while their loved ones meet with qualified staff in a safe, familiar environment. For participants, ACE provides a sense of community, sustaining their connections with others, while engaging them in a host of activities, including exercise, art, music, meal preparation, and weekly visits with the JCC nursery schoolers.
Caregivers can look to the JCC for expert answers and for referrals to community resources. They also invite caregivers to join monthly support groups.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday | 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Memory Cafe
The Memory Cafe is a social gathering for people living with changes in their memory or thinking, people living with dementia and the people who care about them – family, friends, or professional caregivers. The Memory Cafe is a place to have fun together, talk with others who understand what you’re going through, and try something new.
This program is not designed to offer drop-off respite care – but rather to support both the person living with changes in memory or thinking or with dementia, and the people who care about them. Spend an hour or two with people in a non-judgmental environment who understand what you and your family are going through.
The program is held on the first Tuesday of the month unless it conflicts with a holiday.
October 6, November 3, December 1 | 1:00 – 2:30 p.m.
