SSC Memory Cafes are held at both Duxbury and Hingham Campuses
Using music as a powerful and soothing tool for memory care, SSC Memory Cafe promotes social connection, conversation and curiosity through instrument play, music listening, movement, and more. Participants may attend as many sessions as they wish and choose their own level of interaction and participation. There is no cost to participate.
SSC Memory Cafés are supported by The Harry C. and Mary Elizabeth Grafton Memorial Fund, Bank of America, N.A., Co-Trustee

SSC Memory Cafe Testimonials
“Having the opportunity to have lighthearted conversations and sharing laughter is normalizing and so important to memory impaired seniors. [Meeting] other seniors with memory issues and their caregivers...has been an added bonus.”
