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 environment 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.

Emma Heming Willis is doing so much to shine a light on dementia and the caregiver’s journey. Today’s opinion piece in USA Today explains why we as a country need to do more to support caregivers and the significant role they play.
Caregiving has meant confronting how unprepared our culture is to support families navigating FTD. It's a 24/7 responsibility, with little support.

“[My husband] is happy to have this place where he can go and not be judged for his disease or what he can’t remember. He is happy there and can be the ‘life of the party’ again. Without Amazing Place, no doubt he would be lost. It’s a place he loves and I feel safe knowing he is there.
