Social Events
Often social opportunities are limited when there is a memory problem. Friends are not sure what to do or say so they will avoid interaction. Public areas may cause anxiety for persons with dementia so families will steer clear of situations that may cause confusion or embarrassment. Having a non-clinical venue for social interaction that is attended by others who understand and are facing similar circumstances is vital. We provide a variety of events throughout the year including parties, musical programs, BINGO, art classes, brain games, yoga, Bible study and more. Check out our calendar for planned programs or call us for more information.

Caregiver Connections (Support Group Meetings)
Caring for someone with a memory disorder can be difficult and isolating. The purpose of a support group is to offer an opportunity for caregivers and others to share their personal experiences and ideas and to provide moral support. We offer many support groups in the Golden isles.

Individual Consultations
Sometimes it helps to have someone to talk to about the volumes of information available, and the confusion about how to best help a loved one with memory problems. While we can not replace the advice of physicians or therapists, we have extensive experience in navigating these issues, and in helping caregivers see options to consider. Call our office at 912-264-0777 for an appointment.

Our Resource Center at Memory Matters House includes information for caregivers, medical professionals, and anyone seeking information about dementia.

In addition to information on diseases causing dementia, there is information on Medicare/Medicaid, financial planning, elder law, general healthcare consumerism, and literature from other agencies relevant to eldercare. The Resource Center also consists of books and reference materials that are available to borrow.
