The Gathering
WHPC hosts a joyful, volunteer-run program for people who have Alzheimer's and similar dementias. Participants enjoy music, exercise, conversation, food, and fun while caregivers have four hours of respite. The Gathering is currently meeting from 9:30 to 12:30. Covid vaccine is required and masks may be optional. Explore The Gathering website or other Memory Care programs. Please email thegathering@whpc.org and LuCinda Chiles or Diana Stoller will get back to you about our ministry and how to get started as a participant. We also welcome new volunteers!

The Caregivers' Support Group
For individuals who are caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia, this support group meets monthly for education and peer support. This group meets in-person and virtually. Contact Kris Phelps for more information.

The Memory Connections Program
This evidence-informed program is for people experiencing early memory loss. The person-centered program focuses on the strengths of participants at their ability levels. Participants enjoy various cognitive and physical activities to exercise their brains as well as a professionally facilitated support group. Most importantly, the program provides a safe place where older adults experiencing early memory loss can share their challenges and emotions with others in similar situations. It is a safe place to share a laugh, enjoy the company of others, and stimulate the brain. If you are interested in joining, please call AGE of Central Texas at 512-451-4611, ext. 236 to schedule an admissions interview. Due to COVID-19, groups are not meeting in person at WHPC, but support and resources are still available here.
