Café Memória da Madeira Returns with Focus on Oral Hygiene
Café Memória da Madeira will host a session on oral hygiene for individuals with memory issues or dementia, happening this Saturday at the Funchal Community Center.
Café Memória da Madeira is set to return this Saturday, August 22, with a special session focused on oral hygiene for individuals experiencing memory problems or dementia. The event will take place between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM at the Funchal Community Center, located in the Edifício 2000.
This initiative aims to address the challenges associated with maintaining oral hygiene for those who may struggle with autonomy in their daily care routines. The session, titled "Autonomy vs. Dependence in Daily Oral Hygiene Care," will be led by Catarina Nepomuceno, a dentist specializing in geriatrics.
The Café Memória project is a significant community event in Madeira, providing a supportive environment for people with memory impairments and their families. By focusing on oral health, the session hopes to improve the quality of life for participants by empowering them with the knowledge and skills to manage their hygiene independently.
Madeira's Funchal Community Center, known for hosting various community-oriented events, will serve as a welcoming venue for this important discussion. Participants can expect an informative experience with practical advice and support from healthcare professionals.
Café Memória sessions are vital for raising awareness and offering support to those affected by memory-related conditions, and this upcoming session on oral hygiene is part of a broader effort to address the holistic needs of these individuals.
