Program areas at Amazing Place

Day Program: A state-licensed adult day center, Amazing Place is a state-of-the-art wellness center for those with mild to moderate dementia. Research has shown that dementia patients benefit from structure, stimulation, and socialization. We offer cognitive stimulation, creative and cultural arts, civic service, fitness, compensatory cognitive interventions, and spirituality. Our stimulating program adapts to the interests and individual strengths of the participants. We are open from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday - Friday, and are also available for virtual sessions. We customize care plans for our participants and meet routinely to review their status. The program includes health services, family services, and culinary services.
Connections Program: To truly help families, we must connect with everyone impacted by dementia. Through our various Connections, we provide an avenue for everyone to receive the education and support they need. We offer Amazing Place Connections at our Drexel location and throughout Houston at various churches, offices, community centers, and more. Our Education and Training Connections consist of classes to improve caregiving skills and foster caregiver health, opportunities to learn effective memory-enhancing techniques, and promote healthy brain lifestyles. Finally, our Engagement and Support Connections connect those impacted by dementia with individuals who can provide support and guidance.
Amazing Place received a collaborative grant from the Administration for Community Living to launch three new and expanded initiatives. First, the Faith Care Connection program was expanded into the West Houston/Katy community, working alongside churches to serve older adults living alone and at risk or with dementia. The Faith Care Connection team trains clergy, staff, and lay leaders about becoming dementia-friendly congregations. Our Star C program utilizes experienced volunteers as trained consultants to offer in-home interventions to caregivers, using an evidence-based intervention to manage difficult behaviors. The third initiative is Amazing Place's first Spanish program, Cuidando con Respeto (caring with respect), provided to family caregivers caring for loved ones with dementia.
