Anchor Place is a community-supported ministry of St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church for people living with dementia and their carepartners. Our mission is to provide social, emotional, and spiritual support for older adults living with memory loss and other cognitive impairments, ease the challenges of caregiving, and address the epidemic of loneliness through innovative, caring programming.
Today, more than 150,000 Georgians live with Alzheimer’s disease. Tens of thousands more experience other forms of dementia. These figures are projected to grow over 25% by 2025, making Georgia among states with the highest dementia prevalence.
Where can those whose lives have been disrupted by dementia turn to regain a sense of meaning and purpose, to make new friends, and enjoy social interaction? The answer is a volunteer-driven respite day program where neighbors come together to share in a variety of joy-filled activities.
Are you interested in making a real difference for your neighbors whose lives are touched by dementia and social isolation? Do you want to give back, build community, and enrich your life?
Be a friend and change-maker by volunteering your time and talents at Anchor Place. We are seeking volunteers to serve in many roles to grow our fun, affordable, and inclusive programs. Volunteers of all ages can make new connections and serve in meaningful ways at Anchor Place.
Anchor Place invites volunteers of all ages to help us meet the increasing needs of adults living with dementia and their carepartners. Our volunteers should have a heart for supporting people living with dementia in ways that affirm their dignity, elevate their remaining capacities, and share in mutually loving, respectful, and enjoyable relationships.
