Amy's Place

Amy's place is the central location for all of our service with short term respite at our core. We are a place for education, communication, and support catered to anyone and everyone impacted by dementia. ​​​​​​​

HEADTalks Series

Join us each month for a new topic. This year, we'll be discussing an overview of dementia services in Whatcom County, Advance Care Planning, Care for the Caregiver, and many more essential and frequently asked-about topics

Project Lifesaver

Learn more about DSNW's partnership with Whatcom Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue team to bring Project Lifesaver to Whatcom County, and if it might be a good fit for your family or friends living with dementia.

Support Groups

 Welcoming groups where caregivers and family members share experiences, learn from one another, and find encouragement — no one should face dementia alone. Groups meet regularly around Whatcom County.

Short-Term Respite and Dynamic Duos

Respite allows caregivers to drop off their loved one living with dementia at Amy's Place for up to two hours. Dynamic Duos welcomes both the person living with dementia and their care partner together.

Good Times Club

This community-based social respite program works to provide reliable, scheduled 5-hour respite days to those caring for a friend or family member living with dementia.

Education and Outreach

Whether it's a community visit, professional staff training, one of our HEAD Talks or our annual conference, we're here to share what we know about ways to make the world more dementia friendly!
