TFA and Amerigroup Agree to Fund New Local Memory Café Locations!
The Tennessee Federation for the Aging (TFA) in partnership with Amerigroup TN is offering a new grant program in 2021 to create Memory Café programs in each Grand Division. With financial support from Amerigroup, TFA is providing grants to three local organizations to begin Memory Café activities.
This year's recipients are:
West Tennessee Region - Martin Gateway Center in Martin.
Middle Tennessee Region - Alzheimer’s TN-Cumberlands partnering with the Upper Cumberland Area Agency on Aging and Disability.
East Tennessee Region - Alzheimer’s Tennessee-East
Memory Cafés offer people with dementia and their care partners the opportunity to enjoy regular, enjoyable social interaction with others in similar circumstances in a safe, welcoming environment. Memory Cafés share the commitment to offering hospitality, interesting and engaging programs and information about dementia and appropriate resources.
Each organization receiving a Memory Café grant plans to begin activities in June.
