DESCRIPTION

Insight Memory Care Center is a nonprofit providing quality memory and cognitive care for families living with dementia. We do this through specialized day programs for individuals living with memory and cognitive impairments, support for care partners and families, and education and engagement opportunities for the wider community. A nonprofit organization serving Northern Virginia since 1984, Insight offers a spectrum of holistic care, with a vision of a community where those living with cognitive impairment can achieve the highest quality of life.

Insight offers quality day programs for individuals in all stages of dementia. For those with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or early memory loss, Insight’s early stage programs promote brain health, while creating connection with peers in a supportive environment. Our signature program, the Adult Day Health Center, provides a safe, engaging, and therapeutic environment for individuals with mild to late-stage memory impairment. It is the only dementia specific day center in the DC metro area and still the only adult day health center in Northern Virginia with programs for people in the later stages of dementia.

As families are also impacted, Insight offers support programs specifically for care partners to reduce stress, plan for the future, and build a network of support that provides practical solutions to caregiving challenges. Our innovative education programs and virtual resources help care partners remain confident and effective in their roles and increase awareness and understanding of the disease in the community.
