Families Need More Than Information—
They Need Connection
Memory loss affects more than the person receiving care. Families often struggle with changing relationships, children may not understand what they are seeing, and caregivers are frequently searching for ways to maintain meaningful connection.
Adult Day programs play an important role in supporting not only participants, but the people who love and care for them.
Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer’s was created to help bridge that gap through guided experiences and practical resources that help families navigate memory loss together.

Built Around Real Family Experiences
Families navigating memory loss often tell us they struggle with:
💜 Explaining Alzheimer’s and memory loss to children
💜 Knowing how to keep younger generations involved
💜 Maintaining meaningful interaction as changes occur
💜 Finding resources that feel approachable and practical
MMAP was created to make those conversations easier and help families feel more connected throughout the journey.
Created by people who understand the journey
Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer’s was developed through lived experience, education,
and a commitment to helping families navigate memory loss with empathy and connection.
