LiveWell Meet-Ups
What is a Meet-Up? LiveWell hosts monthly in-person “Meet-Ups” where we can be social together. These fun gatherings are designed for individuals with dementia and their care partners. You are responsible for your expenses (i.e. activities, lunch). We typically meet on the 4th Tuesday of every month, often over lunch.
*Your generous donations help us continue to offer this program.
