Supporting People living with Dementia, their Families and Carers
Roscommon Dementia Alliance was established to improve the quality of life and affect change in policy for people living with Dementia, their families and carers by enabling their active participation in society through the provision of support, information, advice and education in an inclusive community environment.
Roscommon Memory Café
The monthly Roscommon Memory Cafe is aimed at providing support, advice and assistance for individuals with dementia, their families and carers.
This event takes place in the Visitor Centre at LOUGH KEY FOREST PARK in Boyle and is held in a casual format with a mixture of music, song, storytelling and advice from professionals. There’s a clear emphasis on nostalgia, heritage and an opportunity to meet other families living with dementia.
The event takes place in person but it is also accessible by Zoom. The link will be sent out in advance of the event. If you have any queries, contact Teresa O’Brien at teresa@ridc.ie or phone Teresa at 0860291215

App of the Month
Family Locator GPS Tracker
This is a tracking app designed for families. Those who are connected to the app can see where other family members are in real time.
Pros: Similar to the ‘My Family app. It is a useful way to keep track of loved ones who have internet connection.
Cons: It is dependent on constant internet access to be useful and is hindered by people forgetting and losing their phone
