Our Impact

MemoryCare is a nationally recognized program for dementia care!

Our community-based, nonprofit, charitable organization is uniquely focused on serving the whole family. In 2024, we served over 1,230 people living with dementia and 3,573 of their family caregivers. We reached over 2,100 individuals with dementia-specific education. Our peer support groups met each week, and our Caregiver Consultant met families throughout the year.

“There will never be adequate words to thank you and your organization for your constant support and wisdom.”

MemoryCare Caregiver

There is a reason we’re here.

Because age is the greatest risk factor for cognitive impairment, this disease already has a significant impact in Western North Carolina, a region with a substantially older population than much of the country.

We are also here because the community supports our work. Over the years, we have noticed that the majority of our supporters have been touched in some way by dementia.  Those whose lives have been impacted by the disease have a unique understanding of the need for a program like MemoryCare.
