Insight Memory Care Center Care, support and education for those with memory and cognitive impairments and their care partners

Insight Memory Care Center (IMCC), formerly Alzheimer's Family Day Center, is a nonprofit adult day health and resource center providing specialized care, support, and education for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and other memory impairments, their families, caregivers, and the community. Serving Northern Virginia since 1984, IMCC offers a spectrum of holistic care, with a vision of a community where those affected by memory impairments can achieve the highest quality of life. IMCC’s adult day health center provides a safe, engaging, and therapeutic environment for individuals with memory impairment. It is the only dementia-specific day center in the DC metro area and still the only adult day health center in Northern Virginia with programs for people in the later stages of an Alzheimer's illness. IMCC’s innovative education and support programs provide caregiver classes, community trainings, professional seminars, support groups, individual consultations and home visits. These programs help family members remain confident and effective in their caregiving roles and increases awareness and understanding of the disease in the community.

At Insight Memory Care, we believe effective dementia care starts with compassion, structure, and understanding. Here are a few tips for supporting a loved one with dementia:
✅ Validate, don’t argue: Dementia changes the brain; agreeing or reassuring is more helpful than correcting.
✅ Keep communication simple: Use short, clear sentences, maintain eye contact, and reduce background noise.
✅ Use the 5 R’s during a crisis: Remain calm, respond to feelings, reassure, remove yourself if needed, and return when things are settled

Dementia care is a journey, and no one should have to navigate it alone. Insight Memory Care is here to support you and your family.
