A Gift of Time Memory Cafe

Becky and Jeanette have such a wonderful program. They and the volunteers at A Gift of Time have been so sweet to my mom and to me! They are so well organized, purposeful and kind to all the friends that attend their group.

This is the most amazing program! The program for the participants is well organized and fun. Activities are varied including music, movement, craft activities, and current events. Caregivers love coming in to see their loved ones are safe, happy, and actively engaged.The volunteers are amazing!

A Gift of Time was a "gift" to me throughout my husband's long and difficult struggles with dementia. Especially critical and helpful were the monthly on-line "Living Well with Dementia" sessions with Tam Cummings as well as her printed materials. The memory cafe is also an excellent offering and I am excited to learn of the possibility of future in-person opportunities. If you or your loved one is experiencing memory issues, A Gift of Time is definitely for you!

Wish I could give it 6 stars! What a caring, loving family this respite is. The participants are loved on, entertained with singing, music, games and chatting. It's always a good time at Gift of Time!

This service was wonderful and what my dad needed! The staff is awesome and can provide support beyond just a weekly respite.

The staff and volunteers are wonderful. They treat the participants like one of the family

AGOT is full of love, not just for my mom who can't wait to get there on Tuesdays but for me in caring for Mom. It's wonderful.

Becky, Jeanette and the Team at A Gift of Time are truly amazing. This organization has not only provided respite for caregivers (me) but also provides a loving environment and thoughtful activities and entertainment for the participants(my husband). I'm so glad Becky took over the organization when she did as it has done nothing but thrive under her direction and care. I highly recommend their Respite Care and any activities they organize. Thank you for everything! You are making a difference!

A Gift of Time has been an important and valuable experience for both my husband and me. The program has provided him with the opportunity for much needed socialization and for me a time to take care of necessary errands that I cannot accomplish when caring for my husband.

Since attending this program, my 88-year-old mom’s physical health has improved because her emotional state has improved so dramatically. There is a direct connection! And when she’s doing well, it reduces my stress level. Another direct connection. I hope others in a situation similar to mine, caring for their elderly parent(s) with early stage dementia, will reach out to this organization for help.

A gift of Time has provided me with the help, support and information I needed! When my husband was diagnosed with MCI, I didn't know where to get information or the help I needed. A gift of time can provide the support, and a link to any resource needed. Thank you so much to A Gift of Time

My mom has been attending for the last few weeks and I have not seen her smile so much since she started with this terrible disease. She looks forward to going to the "center" when I remind her on Wednesday evening. Of course, I remind her again the morning of:-) I have watched her enjoy the activities with the other folks when I get there a little early just to check things out. The staff/volunteers are so great with her and the other folks. I am so thankful for this program!!!!! Thanks, Patricia

A Gift of Time is the epitome of community. For those experiencing dementia or their care partners, it's a place to love and be loved. While being a part of this group, we are all strengthened, educated, and supported through each of our unique seasons of life. I've met some of the most incredible people while being a part of this respite program.

Great place for families to receive help and support for a family member with memory issues. Respite care is one of the awesome ways A Gift of Time helps families.

Excellent organization! They have been very supportive to me and very patient with my husband.

Kathy Mayes

My husband absolutely loves his weekly outing to enjoy time with his new friends and extended family! He enjoys sharing stories, having lunch, crafts and memory games. When I visit to pick him up, he is so engaged and happy, which makes me even happier! A Gift of Time is hands down amazing! A group of warm, loving volunteers and many opportunities to learn more about the local resources in our area and progression of the disease.

This is a wonderful organization. I had a difficult time searching through the many links on the internet trying to find practical, immediate help for caregivers. The memory cafe and the education lecture series have been a tremendous resource for our family.
