Amazing Place's Dementia Day Program is led by a highly professional and compassionate staff that quickly recognizes the individual needs and abilities of our participants. The center is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 6:00 pm. Both participants and caregivers have the option to select a schedule that best suits their needs. Located in the heart of Houston, the center provides a joyful envi

ronment of acceptance allowing all family members peace of mind. Amazing Place offers a variety of activities that build cognitive skills that can offset the effects of Alzheimer's disease and other related dementias. Our safe and welcoming environment encourages friendships, social activities, exercise and education. All staff and volunteers passionately promote self-efficacy. Our chef prepares a delicious and well thought out three-course lunch each day strictly following the guidelines of MPN (Memory Preservation Nutrition). Special events, like birthdays, are celebrated as a group and festive parties are planned for the holidays. Virtual classes and other online programming are available for those that cannot attend in person or prefer a hybrid solution customized to their unique needs. At Amazing Place, the Connections Program is devoted to supporting the well-being of our caretakers and community at large by offering a variety of classes and in-person services. Our mission is to empower lives disrupted by dementia. Amazing Place is a state-licensed, faith based non-profit organization governed by a board of directors with representatives from 16 Houston area churches.

Amazing Place will also be closed Jan. 21 and Jan. 22 due to the anticipated winter storm.

Brain health is an important component to overall health, and we believe part of our mission is to educate the community on how to take better care of their brains. Start the new year on a healthier note and take one of our Brain Health Matters classes to learn how. Food for A Healthier Brain, Practical Tips For A Healthier You, and Sensory Health And Your Brain are just a few of the free educational presentations we are offering in 2025. All Brain Health Matters presentations can be adapted to meet the specific needs of your group, organization, congregation or company.
