A Message from Our Director

As we continue our mission at Our PLACE, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported us—our staff, volunteers, and the many individuals and organizations that make our work possible. Your generosity and dedication allow us to serve families navigating the challenges of Alzheimer’s and dementia with compassion and care.

To the caregivers in our community: We see you. We know that caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia is an extraordinary act of love, but it can also be physically and emotionally exhausting. Please know that you do not have to walk this journey alone. Our PLACE is here to support you—offering understanding, encouragement, and a safe, engaging environment for your loved one while taking time you need to care for yourself.

If you are looking for a trusted care partner, we are here to help. Whether through our adult day program, caregiver support groups, or access to education and resources, we are committed to serving you and your family. This March, we proudly celebrated our third anniversary, marking three years of providing compassionate care and respite to families in our community. Since opening in 2022, Our PLACE has provided over 60,000 hours of person-centered care, giving caregivers that same amount of time to attend appointments, run errands, or simply reconnect with the things they love.

Thank you for being part of our mission. Together, we are making a difference.
