2021 St. Charles County Senior Living Guide

In the small town of St. Charles, giving is a way of life. And there’s no better example than the Main Street Memory Café, a mission of the Bev Roy Hope Foundation. A nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization providing social engagement programs for people living with memory loss and their care partners. “We love helping people in our community,” said Shelly Roy, Founder of the Memory Café. “All of our volunteers are so creative and we make a great team”.

This year has been challenging, but we have adapted our events so we can continue to service our participants. Social distancing has changed the way we execute events, but it has not prevented us from making a difference. Through a partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association, we host weekly Zoom meetings to combat social isolation. With the help from the community and small business, our themed programs include, chair fitness, guest speakers, culture, music, arts, crafts, reminiscing and a lot of laughter. “We have so much fun together and we love making people smile.”
