2022 Sterling Highlights

Early Stage Programs in Loudoun

Insight Memory Care Center celebrated a milestone event with the opening of its second location, an Early Stage Center in Sterling, Virginia, on January 5, 2022. It’s hard to believe the Sterling Early Stage Center is now one year old!

Throughout 2022 in Sterling:

• 35 attended Reconnections
• 12 attended Mind and Body Workshop
• 101 attended Memory Cafe
• 17 attended Care Partner Meet-Ups, which began in September
• Hundreds more attended education programs, both in-person and offered virtually on-demand. Topics included the Virtual Dementia Tour, Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia Care Seminar, Caregiver Bootcamp, and Covering Dementia Care: Financial Considerations.

Our Loudoun location offers our popular Reconnections early stage program four days a week. This early-stage, social model day program offers small group, engaging activities for those living with MCI or an early dementia diagnosis, surrounded by peers and in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental setting. The program offers a chance for peer support and socialization that isn’t found in many other places – as evidenced by the fact our program in Fairfax is full and often operating with a waiting list!

“The Sterling Instructors are the BEST of the best - very knowledgeable, kind, helpful, happy and welcome our suggestions. My participant feels his brain is challenged and has shown signs of improvement.”   - Care Partner

We know that more than just the individual living with the diagnosis needs support. We also offer care partner education and support programs at this location as well, as we aim to serve the entire family through their journey. Sterling programs include:
