Memory Center Events
Memory Cafe –The Memory Café is a time to enjoy activities with your loved one with memory loss and break from the normal routine. It is a time to socialize, learn from monthly topics, and build resources for changing needs.
HOPE Project – The Treasure Valley Family YMCA in partnership with Saint Alphonsus Memory Center is excited to bring to you a once-a-month online (virtual) free education program on evidence-based lifestyle-medicine strategies and treatment of potentially modifiable risk factors to improve brain health and reduce one’s risk of dementia.

We continue to seek funding to continue this project annually. Please see video to learn more about this project. Contact Dr. Kara Kuntz to learn more about how you can help support this project or make a donation by clicking on the button below.
In addition to offering this caregiver workshop, we are conducting a research study in collaboration with Boise State University to evaluate how well this workshop is assisting caregivers. Whether you have signed up for the workshop or not, we truly need your help.
If you are able to assist us by responding to this survey, there are two options.
1. By clicking on this link, you will be able to complete a consent form only, and we can contact you to answer the survey questions via phone.
2. By clicking on this link, you can complete the consent form and you can answer the survey questions on your own if you wish.
If you do participate, then immediately after the workshop is over (around August 1) and then one month later (around September 1), we will follow up with some of the survey questions to determine if there has been a change in your perceived level of stress as a caregiver.
