Project “Alzheimer Café Suriname style” a success

project suriname 2019 01Caring for those who live in the shadow of Alzheimer”. That was the slogan of a meeting in the Alzheimer Café, Paramaribo, Suriname. Together with the Alzheimer Foundation the Central Branch group PAVEURS from Suriname organized an event on June 29, 2019 for people with dementia, their partners, family members and friends.

The evening in the Alzheimer Café was centered around three themes namely:
1. Who is responsible for a person who has dementia?
2. Who is involved in the caregiving?
3. How to react to criticism regarding choices made by family?
