Organizations Filed Purposes:
Empowering lives disrupted by dementia. The mission of Amazing Place is to provide fellowship, memory care and wellness for adults with mild to moderate dementia and support to their families and the community.
Amazing Place is a day center for adults with mild to moderate dementia. We offer programs that include cognitive stimulation, creative arts, fitness, spirituality, and cultural arts for participants and support and education for families, caregivers and the community.
Day Program: A state-licensed adult day center, Amazing Place is a state of the art wellness center designed for those with mild to moderate dementia. Research has shown that those with dementia benefit from structure, stimulation, and socialization. We offer programs that include cognitive stimulation, creative and cultural arts, civic service, fitness, compensatory cognitive interventions, and spirituality. Our invigorating program adapts to the interests and individual strengths of the participants. We are open 7:30a.m. to 6:00p.m., Monday - Friday. We customize care plans for our participants and meet routinely to review their status. The program includes health services, family services, and culinary services.
In September 2017, Amazing Place received a government grant from the Administration on Aging. There are three new programs that are a part of the grant. These are the Amazing Place Connection Project (APCP), Transition Expansion, and Caregiver Education Expansion. The APCP is a group of social workers that help designated churches identify people in their congregation that are at risk for dementia. Transition expansion is an extension of Family Services by providing services for a year after people leave Amazing Place. The Caregiver Education is a new program offered to caregivers. The grant was initially scheduled to go through August 2020. An extension has been received until December 2020.
Connections Program: To truly end the stigma of dementia, we must reach out to, and connect with, everyone impacted by dementia. After all, dementia impacts more than those diagnosed. A dementia diagnosis affects caregivers, friends, congregations, health professionals, and others who are curious about preventing or delaying symptoms. Through our various Connections, we want to provide an avenue for everyone to receive the education and support they need. We offer some Amazing Place Connections at our Drexel location, and many throughout the city of Houston at various churches, offices, community centers, and more. Our Education and Training Connections consist of classes that help improve care-giving skills and foster caregiver health, opportunities to learn effective memory-enhancing techniques and presentations that promote brain healthy lifestyles. Our Engagement and Support Connections connect those impacted by dementia with other individuals who can provide needed support and guidance.
