With over 15,000 people in West Sussex living with dementia, Mo's memory cafe is a welcome project to help support individuals who have memory issues and their carers.

Every two weeks, GoodOaks Homecare opens its doors to Mo's Memory cafe - in memory of Moreen Drew, who lived in Worthing and passed away with dementia in 2006.

Moreen's daughter Rebecca Drew, say" My Mum would have loved the Cafe she was such a chatty lady but as dementia took hold she lost her confidence which meant that she spent much of the time indoors. 20 years ago less was known about the importance of maintaining social ties - that's why this initiative is so important"

The Community cafe is a safe space where people can share experiences and take time to relax. Caring for someone with dementia can be challenging and an emotionally demanding experience, often involving changes in the relationship dynamic, increased responsibility, and the need to adapt to the person's evolving needs.

Mo's Cafe offers a chance to meet with other local people who understand their situation. This helps to reduce isolation and gain access to information and support.

Mo's has three main areas.

The Community room is where clients can enjoy free refreshments, music and a small library. It is a place to sit and chat in an informal environment.

The games room has proved a great success - visitors can play Darts, Bagatelle or putt a few golf balls in the indoor putting green

The Spa room

In the spa room, Steph, our footcare professional, offers professional foot care. Proper foot care is crucial for individuals with dementia to maintain their comfort and mobility, and it can also help prevent falls and injuries.

Also in the Spa Room, hair stylist Sarah offers trims and cuts.

Both Steph and Sarah have supported people with Dementia for many years.

Mo's Memory Cafe is open from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. every other Wednesday at GoodOaks Homecare, 72 Newland Road, Worthing BN11 1LB.
