Pharmacological treatment is still challenging and thus different ways to improve\/slow down the disease are necessary.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twenty\u2010five subjects with mild dementia, living in a nursing home, and their relatives were invited to attend a dementia cafe, a community group which provides support for families affected by dementia. Each patient was evaluated by a neuropsychologist, through the administration of a specific neuropsychological battery, before and at the end of the study. Their outcomes were compared to a matched group of patients with dementia receiving psycho\u2010counselling.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>After the dementia cafe meetings, patients showed higher significant changes in mood (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.01), behavioural symptoms (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), quality of life (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), and caregiver burden (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).

Moreover, caregivers find these caf\u00e9s to be welcoming, relaxed places to socialise and access support and information.
