Silver Club Memory Programs

Silver Club Memory Programs provide a safe, engaging space for older adults with mild to moderate memory loss. Through art, music, fitness, and friendship, members find joy and connection while caregivers receive much-needed respite. Your gift this Giving Blue Day helps create meaningful moments for those living with dementia and supports their families with compassion and care.

Silver Club Memory Programs, part of Community Health Services at Michigan Medicine, offer therapeutic and recreational day programs for older adults living with memory loss. These programs are designed to foster dignity, creativity, and connection for individuals with mild to moderate cognitive changes, while also providing vital support to their caregivers.

Established in 1998, Silver Club creates a welcoming environment where members participate in activities such as music, art, fitness, gardening, and storytelling. Whether through the Mind Works educational group for men, the vibrant Elderberry Club for women, or the structured Day Enrichment Program, Silver Club helps members stay active, engaged, and socially connected.

Professionally trained staff and volunteers work closely with each member to tailor activities to their strengths and interests. The goal is to help individuals feel valued and capable, even as they navigate the challenges of memory loss. For many, Silver Club is the highlight of their week; it’s a place to laugh, learn, contribute, and belong.

Caregivers benefit too. While their loved ones participate in enriching programs, caregivers gain time to rest, recharge, and attend to their own needs. This dual impact makes Silver Club a lifeline for families facing dementia.

Services are offered on a sliding scale, ensuring accessibility regardless of financial situation. With your support, Silver Club can continue to provide these life-affirming experiences and expand its reach to more families in need.

Please make your gift today to help older adults with memory loss live with dignity, joy, purpose, and community. Together, we can make every moment matter.
