"This enjoyable book gives a comprehensive review of the Alzheimer's Cafe concept as a model to create meaningful engagement for people living with dementia and their care partners. Drawing on a variety of cafe experiences across the US and beyond, Jytte Lokvig provides a multitude of ideas for creating such a space in your community. This is not simply a ""cookie-cutter"" book, but more importantly serves as a book of possibilities that are as rich and varied as the people and places they serve.
