Memory Makers is a day respite program for adults with early to middle stage Alzheimer’s or other types of dementia. It is open Monday through Thursday from 10 until 2. Memory Makers is able to provide respite care for up to 12 people per day. The daily fee is $20 per person; however, there is financial assistance for those who are unable to pay. Memory Makers accepts donations to assist those needing financial assistance. Memory Makers is a service of Respite Day Services of Oxford, Inc., a 501(c)3 corporation.
Memory Makers provides a structured setting where participants enjoy group activities including exercise, flower arranging, arts and crafts, games, reminiscing, music and dancing. We also provide a respite or much needed break for the family members who care for them. Participants bring a sandwich for lunch. Snacks, dessert and beverages are provided. Volunteers are always needed and appreciated.
Memory Makers is located at 125 B Heritage Drive, off W. Jackson Ave., behind Applebee’s and across from the Hampton Inn. For more information contact Emily Fox at 234-3332 or memory.makers@att.net or www.memorymakers.org.
