Coffee For A Cause

Contributed by: News Canada

(NC) - Health care professionals who are experienced in helping families care for someone with Alzheimer's disease understand the benefits of increased social interaction such as family gatherings and participation in familiar daily activities (e.g. cooking). This helps provide mental and physical stimulation for the person with Alzheimer's disease. It's also important to continue recognizing their abilities, interests and life-long skills that can help maintain and enhance their quality of life.

Coffee Break™ is the Alzheimer Society's nation-wide fundraiser and is held each September. Donations are collected for every cup of coffee poured. The Alzheimer Society estimates that this year, more than 10,000 Coffee Break events will be held across Canada. This year's Coffee Break will be held on September 21 which is also World Alzheimer's Day. Contact your local Alzheimer Society to find the nearest location of a Coffee Break™ in your area.

Try this tasty recipe for Coffee Cake with the person you are caring for and take some time out together for your own special 'Coffee Break'.
