Early Alzheimer's Foundation, Inc

Mission Statement

The Memory Tree's mission is to provide intervention to early stage Alzheimer's persons and their caregivers. It also offers outreach to people who have self-identified as having memory issues, but have not yet been diagnosed, as a means for early intervention.

The Memory Tree is New York City's first program devoted to people with mild memory loss, and their family and caregivers. M emory loss affects everyone in a family, not just the person who is having trouble remembering. That is why we developed this program, creating a unique place for both caregivers as well as people with memory loss.

We feel that the best way to fight the aging process - including the loss of memory - is through mental and physical fitness. The Memory Tree programs meets weekly, and offers a wide variety of classes and workshop such as; Memory Aerobics, Chair Yoga, "In the News" discussions, presentations by the Museum of Modern Art, and group discussions for caregivers, all designed to keep the body and brain challenged.
