About Our PLACE

What is Our PLACE

Our PLACE is a licensed, non-profit, non-sectarian Adult Day Center that opened in March of 2022. It serves residents of Loudon and Monroe Counties, as well as surrounding communities that have been diagnosed with mild to moderate Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia.

The land on which Our PLACE resides was donated for this purpose by the Tellico Community Foundation and the East Tennessee Foundation. It is located opposite Food Lion at the intersection of SR 444 and SR 72 in Loudon. Sarah Martin is the Our PLACE Executive Director and brings many years of experience in assisting seniors with Alzheimer's/Dementia and their care partners, as well as experience working in Alzheimer's and dementia activities programming in a memory care facility setting. 

Our PLACE is open Monday through Friday, and participants may attend 2-5 days a week. Each day, participants will be offered a different program of activities suited to their abilities. These activities are designed to promote socialization and stimulation and may include music, exercise, crafts, games, pet therapy, reminiscence therapy, and more. Whenever possible, activities will be theme-based, highlighting the seasons, holidays, birthdays, and other special occasions. Our PLACE will serve beverages and provide snacks twice daily. Participants will bring a sack lunch from home.
