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

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.

Be An Armchair Olympian!
Hooray! It’s almost time to watch The Summer Olympics as athletes from around the world compete in Paris. Our own Cuidando con Respeto program coordinator, Jose Cuellar, is a respected athlete in his own right, having played soccer (futbol) for his native Bolivian national team and still actively involved in local leagues. He says this is a great time to become an “armchair athlete.” “It’s easy to stay active while watching the Olympics,” says Jose. “Chair exercises are accessible, low-impact and can be adapted to your own fitness level. Make sure you have a sturdy chair, space around you and, of course, your favorite Olympic event tuned in.” Jose has several great tips, all of which our Day Program Participants often enjoy while on campus.
BREATHE
Begin with deep breathing exercises. Sit up straight and breathe in deeply through your nose, hold the air for 3 to 5 seconds, and then breathe out through your mouth.
LOWER BODY
Leg Lifts. Warm up by stretching one leg, holding the heel down. Then lean forward over that leg for a few seconds. Simply alternate legs 3 to 5 times.
March in Place. Stay seated, lift your knees alternately. To add a bit of intensity, feel free to swing your arms.
UPPER BODY
Shoulder Rolls. Roll your shoulders forward for 30 seconds, then backwards for another 30 seconds.
Arm Raises. Hold your arms straight out, then raise to your highest comfortable position. Repeat for 30 seconds.
Arm Circles. Extend your arms out to the sides at shoulder height. Make small circles for 30 seconds and reverse direction. Perform 2- 3 sets.
RELAX AND STRETCH
Finish by cooling down. With feet flat on the floor, bend toward the hips and hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Next, sit tall and gently tilt your head towards one shoulder and hold for 10 - 15 seconds. Then switch sides.
Jose adds, “Exercise is so important to our overall health, including our brain health, especially as we age.
The Olympic Games are a great reminder to stay in the best shape we possibly can while rooting loudly for TEAM USA!”
