Amazing Place

At Amazing Place, we are dedicated to our core mission: empowering lives disrupted by dementia, with the ultimate vision of ending the stigma of dementia. Our Day Program, located in a state-of-the-art wellness center, offers participants with mild to moderate dementia a place to thrive by providing the best in health, family, and culinary services in addition to an evidence-based, meticulously planned curriculum. Alongside our Day Program, at Amazing Place we provide adults living with dementia, their caregivers, health professionals, and the community at large access to a full range of free to low cost training, education, engagement, and support programs. Founded in 1996 by visionary minister Rev. Dean Robinson from St. Luke's United Methodist Church, Amazing Place is a faith-based, state-licensed nonprofit organization governed by a coalition of 15 churches throughout Houston, Texas. Since its inception, Amazing Place has become a symbol of hope for so many whose lives have been disrupted by dementia. As we look forward, we remain focused on empowering more lives, so that even in the face of dementia, peace, joy, and meaning may abound.
