Our PLACE Adult Day Center
"Creating Moments of Joy..."
Our PLACE Mission
Our PLACE Mission is to improve quality of life by providing a day program of care, social interaction, and therapeutic activities in a safe and nurturing environment for adults living with Alzheimer's or other dementia-related diseases. Our PLACE also works to support families and caregivers through respite, support groups, education, and resources, allowing us to create more “Moments of Joy” for families and participants.
Message from the Director...
As Summer will soon come to an end, children will return back to school, and we will embrace the opportunities to attend Friday night lights at our local football games. But there is still time for cookouts, ice cream and watermelon. We have settled back into our newly expanded building and are filled with so much gratitude. We have enjoyed cookouts in our larger outdoor space and many friendly, competitive, rounds of Cornhole. Sipping cool drinks as we watch birds eat from our bird feeders and hummingbirds drink up the sweet nectar. It’s the little things that provide moments of joy for our participants and we are so blessed to be able to provide these opportunities.
For every person diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia, we know there is a care partner walking alongside them every step of the way. At Our PLACE Adult Day Center, we want to support you in your journey by providing programs that are educational, stimulating and nurturing. We still have room for your loved ones and have openings for enrollment. Please feel free to contact us at (865) 657-7222 and schedule your tour.

Our PLACE Annual Walk 2 Remember
Across America in the fall of each year, millions of people join together in a Walk 2 Remember the individuals and families affected by the early effects of Alzheimer's and other dementia-related diseases. On October 5, 2024, from 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM, at Lenoir City Park, Our PLACE will hold our 2nd annual Walk 2 Remember for those affected individuals and families in our area.
All proceeds will be used to support the daily programs and activities in our newly expanded facility. Our vision, supported by you, is to provide the best independent, nonprofit adult day programs in East TN. Please walk with us on this special day to help us provide more Moments of Joy in our participants' lives.
Our PLACE Phase II Capital Campaign
Your support is greatly appreciated by the families of those affected...
We have now been serving our community since March of 2022. Since then Our PLACE has provided help and assistance to countless individuals and caregivers through our in-house programs, Caregiver Workshops and Outreach Programs. Our PLACE has provided ‘Moments of Joy’ to many families.
We have learned a lot in dealing with the various aspects of dementia. Space constraints have become our main issue due to how participants are progressing through the disease, mobility issues, and resulting activity setup constraints. The need is great as the American Alzheimer’s Association estimates that there are over 4700 individuals impacted by Alzheimer's/Dementia in Loudon and Monroe County alone.
To adequately address this need, we recently added a modest expansion. This expansion gives us much-needed space to make it even more comfortable for our participants and adds additional capacity to serve more families in our communities.
We continually look for additional ways to expand our service to support our participants and their caregivers, outreach and education, scholarships, and further improvements in our programs allowing us to create even more "Moments of Joy". Learn more about this program.
