Living with a form of Memory Loss can create a world of confusion, miscommunication, and isolation. Memory & Company offers a friendly environment for those living with Memory Loss through our Premium Day Program in Markham and Oakville.
Our Premium Day Program is designed to support those living with Memory Loss, and their care partners. It is an exclusive health, spa, and social club focused on the cognitive and physical limitations that Memory Loss can present.
In addition to being regulated by the Retirement Home Regulatory Authority (RHRA), both Memory & Company’s locations are also Members of the Ontario Retirement Home Association (ORCA).

Members do not need a referral or any formal diagnosis to enjoy our countless activities and services. Memory Loss occurs for many reasons, including brain injury, Parkinson’s Disease, stroke, and dementia conditions such as Alzheimer’s Disease.
As a Club for those living with Memory Loss, Memory & Company does not have age limits for our Members either. Instead, our primary goal is to support anyone with Memory Loss. Therefore, everyone is welcome.

Why Choose Memory and Company’s Premium Day Program for Memory Care?
Benefits of our Premium Day Program extend beyond providing a place for Members to meet. We work with Members to enhance and enrich their daily lives through customized and group programs and activities.
Cognitive Care
Cognitive care refers to various therapies and treatments for conscious intellectual activity such as reasoning, memory, and thinking. With these goals in mind, our Premium Day Program focuses on exercises, games, and activities to help slow down Memory Loss.
Physical Fitness
Physical activity has been shown to support and improve brain activity, which is why it is a major component of our Premium Day Program specializing in Memory Care. Our Recreational Therapists design each activity with the individual Member’s interests and needs in mind.
Socialization
Socialization is key for helping those living with Memory Loss to keep mentally, physically, and socially stimulated. Our Premium Day Program specializing in Memory Care in Markham and Oakville provides activities in group form as well as individually.
Music, Art, and Pet Therapy
For those living with Memory Loss, sometimes the words cannot be found to express feelings and emotions. Music and art therapy can help Members find their voice, not to mention develop a profound grasp of fine motor skills and concentration may have been lost.
Pet therapy is becoming known for an essential tool in the healing world, both physically and mentally. Memory & Company is proud to partner with local trainers to help Members reduce stress and depressive thoughts while boosting mood and energy levels.
Personalized Programs
All programs within our Premium Day Program specializing in Memory Care are customized to meet the interests and needs of individual Members.

At Memory & Company, we recognize every Member for who they are and their abilities.
