Alzheimer's & Dementia Services of Memphis
The mission of Alzheimer’s & Dementia Services of Memphis Inc. (ADS) is to help persons with Alzheimer’s disease or related disorders live their lives with dignity and respect while providing relief to their caregivers and support for their families. This beautification effort will allow them to increase capacity while enhancing the caregiving environment.
Why It Matters
This organization provides a critical service to those with Alzheimer's and dementia. Many of these individuals come to this organization to get bathed – a very personal and vulnerable activity. The beautification will not only increase capacity, but it will also contribute to neighborhood revitalization efforts in Hickory Hill. With the help of Lowe's, they will be able to create a better space that will provide more confidence in the families who are seeking care for their loved ones.
The Impact
“I am a caregiver whose mother has dementia. I am the product of the ADS mission,” wrote project nominator Judy Elaine Davis. “Before I became an employee of ADS, I was able to go to work and have peace of mind that my mother was being cared for at a facility where she was not made to feel vulnerable or different. Regardless of someone’s age or state of health, everyone likes to be acknowledged or know someone is concerned about their wellbeing. Updating the facility is showing our friends and family ADS cares and respects every individual.”
