Our Mission is to help older adults with Alzheimer's and related dementias

to maintain and/or improve their level of functioning so they can enjoy their later years.

We believe that human beings, regardless of age or degree of impairment, can benefit from

continuing to participate in the life of a community where they are accepted andhave opportunities

to experience a sense of purpose and success. Our members are not pressured to

be anyone they are not,and they are encouraged to be everything they can.
