Memory Matters

06/23/2026

Every caregiver needs a break. Let us help.
"I now get a break from daily caregiving, but most importantly I know that Mom is getting plenty of social interaction and entertainment at Memory Matters."
"Mom LOVES it! She says it gets her out of the house, with people and doing fun things! Mom is 88 years young and was struggling to make herself leave the house on her own."
These are the moments that remind us why we do this work, for caregivers and the ones they love.

Seats are still available for our June Speaker Series Event - sponsored by Dave Ekedahl

Dr. Esther Vivas, MD will present "Impact of Hearing Health on the Brain", an evidence-based look at the surprising connection between hearing and cognitive health. This is not a hearing aid sales event. It's a physician-led presentation designed to help caregivers and families understand how untreated hearing loss can affect memory, brain function, and quality of life, and what you can do about it.

You'll come away understanding:
• How hearing loss accelerates cognitive decline
• Why early awareness matters for the people you care for
• What proactive steps actually make a difference

St. Gregory the Great ~ Gathering Room
31 St. Gregory Drive, Bluffton, SC 29909

👨‍🍳 Behind every great lunch served in our Harmony Café at the Hilton Head Adult Social Day Program is Chef Mick Connors, cooking Monday through Friday with a Mediterranean-inspired menu, one of the 5 brain-healthy interventions we build into every day at Memory Matters.
Mick brings serious culinary chops to the table. He runs his own fine dining and catering business on the island, serving private events, in-home dinners, and cooking classes, and previously served as Executive Chef and Director of Food & Beverage for The Yacht Club of Hilton Head.
We're so grateful for the care (and flavor!) he brings to our program every single day.
