Seniors Place (The) The Seniors Place

Amazing Place supports the needs of adults with early to moderate stage
memory loss. The program recognizes the individual needs and abilities
of our participants and offers a variety of activities that support the
memory and strength of participants. The environment encourages
friendships, and the trained staff promotes self efficacy. Knowing that
their loved one is safe and happy at AP enables caregivers to have some
time for themselves, either to take care of their own needs, or to go
to work. They communicate regularly with the families of their
participants and offer guidance, encouragement and support.  The organization also presented lectures to various
churches, hospitals, and other groups either on site at our facility, or at other
sites, on topics related to aging, brain health and dementia, educating over 2,500
persons.
