Support the Brain. Preserve Independence. Navigate.
Memory Matters Purpose
Memory Matters exists to support brain health during times of transition and change.
Whether an individual is living independently or adjusting to assisted living, our purpose is to strengthen cognitive function, support adaptive routines, and promote continued engagement.
By providing early guidance and intentional brain health support, Memory Matters helps families make informed decisions while preserving independence and dignity.
Who We Are
Memory Matters was founded to support individuals and families who want to be proactive about brain health and independence.
Our work is guided by dementia-informed training, person-centered care principles, and real-world experience supporting older adults through cognitive change.
Rather than focusing on tasks or supervision, Memory Matters focuses on understanding the brain, adapting routines, and supporting dignity at every stage.
The Memory Matters Approach
Memory Matters takes a proactive, structured approach to brain health and cognitive support.
We begin with a personalized brain health assessment to understand strengths, challenges, and daily routines. From there, we guide individuals and families in building adaptive, brain-healthy routines designed to support cognition and prolong independence.
Our focus is not on doing more — but on doing what matters most, early and intentionally.
Comprehensive Brain Health Assessment
Dementia-Informed. Multi-Visit. Comprehensive.
What It Is
The Brain Health Assessment is a comprehensive, dementia-informed evaluation designed to understand how an individual’s brain is functioning over time — not just in a single visit.
This assessment typically takes up to five visits to complete, allowing Memory Matters to observe cognition, routines, and engagement across different moments and settings. One of these visits is conducted with family members only, creating space for open conversation, education, and planning without placing pressure on the individual.
Who It’s For
- Individuals experiencing early cognitive changes or mild memory concerns
- Families seeking clarity without rushing into higher levels of care
- Those living independently or in assisted living who want to support brain health proactively
What’s Included
- Cognitive and functional observation across multiple visits
- Review of daily routines, stimulation, and habits
- Identification of strengths, challenges, and adaptive opportunities
- Environmental and lifestyle considerations
- A dedicated family-only visit to discuss observations, concerns, and goals
- Clear, personalized recommendations tailored to the individual and family
Why It Matters
Cognitive changes are rarely clear in a single moment.
A multi-visit assessment provides a more accurate picture, helping families make informed decisions and build a plan that supports independence, dignity, and brain health early.
Next Step
➡️ This comprehensive assessment is included in the 3-2-1 Brain Wellness Coaching program and is strongly recommended before ongoing visits.

Who Is Memory Matters For?
Is Memory Matters the Right Approach for You?
Memory Matters is designed for individuals and families who want to take a proactive, thoughtful approach to brain health and cognitive change.
This support is ideal for those who are:
- Experiencing early cognitive changes, mild memory concerns, or an early Alzheimer’s diagnosis
- Living independently or in assisted living and seeking to maintain independence as long as possible
- Interested in meaningful brain stimulation, adaptive routines, and cognitive wellness — not just supervision
- Wanting guidance before memory care becomes necessary
Memory Matters is especially helpful for families who value dignity, autonomy, and intentional support, and who want to be actively involved in preserving quality of life.
Memory Matters may not be the right fit for families who are:
- Seeking hands-on caregiving or assistance with daily living activities
- Experiencing a medical or safety crisis that requires immediate intervention
- Looking for one-time visits without assessment or follow-through
If your loved one needs immediate medical care or full-time supervision, we are happy to help guide you toward appropriate resources.
Need Help Getting a Diagnosis?
Our comprehensive assessment provides more clarity for the doctor to determine the stage of dementia and what is causing it. Sometimes, dementia can be reversible depending on what type of dementia it is. Not all dementia is caused by Alzheimer's.
