Pathlights & Orland Park Public Library host Memory Café for people living with dementia and other forms of cognitive impairment and their care partners. Music is a powerful tool for people with dementia as it enables the brain to have successful engagement and participation even late into the disease progression. The team at Greater Chicago Music Therapy Inc. will encourage the participants to sing, play instruments, connect with each other, and have fun at the Memory Café!
