Amazing Place can offer help

-

When you or a loved one has been diagnosed with dementia, it’s not unusual to be overwhelme­d with many emotions and questions. Dementia is a disease that affects the whole family.

Many feel fear, sadness and sometimes, even denial or shame. Amazing Place can help.

As a day center for adults with mild to moderate dementia, Amazing Place provides a stimulatin­g program for those dealing with the disease. Research supports the benefits of structure and cognitive, physical, spiritual and social stimulatio­n for those with dementia.

In addition, Amazing Place offers daily health care monitoring with an on-site RN, and brain-healthy nutrition. What is often surprising to many is that the cost of the daily program is significan­tly less than in-home care.

Amazing Place also offers respite and support for caregivers, including support groups, Powerful Tools for Caregivers classes and counseling with a licensed social worker. The new Memory Café is open the second Saturday of each month from 10 a.m. to noon for both caregivers and their loved ones with early-stage dementia.

Amazing Place is committed to helping families navigate through this journey of dementia and caregiving.
