Mission Statement
Our Mission The Ivey is a Charlotte, NC-based not-for-profit organization devoted to serving individuals living with early memory or cognition changes and their caregivers through programs designed to optimize brain health for aging well, promoting memory wellness and providing respite and education for the whole family, as well as the entire Charlotte community.
Description
The Ivey is a North Carolina-recognized (not certified nor licensed) Group Respite program four afternoons per week from 1 - 5 pm. The shorter program continued to provide temporary relief during the day, support, and education to family members and other primary caregivers who support individuals with early-cognitive concerns.
The Caregiver Resources offering expanded to include not only counsel and support to families of the Respite Club but also to include families in the greater Charlotte community regardless of whether their loved ones attend The Ivey(r). Believing in the power of education to promote a brain-healthy lifestyle to age well, a 12-week workshop program launched to the greater Charlotte community. Offered on Friday mornings in three 12-week sessions per year, this program convenes professional subject matter experts who deliver specially curated educational workshops on six topics universally known as brain health pillars.
