Silver Club Memory Loss Programs

“Together, we make every moment matter."

Silver Club Programs are part of the Geriatrics Center at the University of Michigan Health System.  Designed for individuals with mild and moderate memory loss, our programs offer a safe, nurturing environment for older adults who still live in the community. Silver Club also offers families on-going educational opportunities and the chance to do other things while their relatives attend Silver Club.

Our Mild Memory Loss Programs are designed for people with mild cognitive impairment or early stage Alzheimer’s disease. The activities include education, support, reminiscence, and fun and challenging cognitive games. Early stage programs are designed to help keep members’ minds active through talking and learning with peers.

Mild Memory Loss Programs
Turner Senior Resource Center, Ann Arbor. 
For a pre-membership appointment or for more information, call 734-998-6555.

The Silver Club Enrichment Program is for older adults with moderate memory loss. On a typical day, members enjoy a variety of activities including coffee and friends, music, fitness, lunch, art, gardening, cooking, and cognitive games. These stimulating activities are fun, help raise self-esteem and counter boredom and isolation.

Silver Club staff and volunteers join with members to create a community where people with memory loss can make friends, share joys and fears, and participate in fun and meaningful activities. Staff members have a variety of backgrounds including social work, fine arts, and recreation therapy. Area students conduct special projects for the programs such as collaborative art projects, dancing, and storytelling.
