FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS….
Who comes to this Café?
- Individuals with memory loss due to MCI, Alzheimer’s, etc. and their care partners. Our group includes people of all ages, at any stage of their journey. We all enjoy ourselves!
Where is it held? Where should we go?
- We meet (on most days) at the United Methodist Church, at 129 S. High Street in West Chester. Drive around to the back of the church and you will find free parking for Sunshine Memory Café. And someone will be at that door to greet you and show you where we are gathering.
- Some days in good weather we meet at the East Goshen Park. And once a month or so we try to go on a “field trip” to a farm, museum, etc. So it’s best to contact us to find out our schedule.
The Methodist Church? But I’m not Methodist…
- Sunshine Café is not a religious class or meeting. It’s also not a typical support group or respite care. It’s a social gathering open to anyone of any religion, race, nationality, etc.
What is the weekly fee?
- There is no cost to come to the Sunshine Café!

Sunshine Café Participants
“..We have had the wonderful privilege of attending Sunshine Memory Cafe for the past two years. It has truly been a Godsend and a relaxed and joyful gathering that we look forward to each week. For one hour and thirty minutes, my husband and I are treated so kindly… My husband sums it up this way: ‘There is a lightness and they make me smile and teach me how certain things can be helpful for me. They do it with a way that is laughter.’ ” D.T.
“SMC is a warm, welcoming and supportive group for us that is often the highlight of our week… There I laugh, smile and find support from others who know and understand the difficulties of taking care of a spouse with memory and cognitive problems.” D.N.
What kinds of things do we do at Café meetings? We have fun!
