The Riverstone Memory Center is a day program for people at various stages of memory loss due to Alzheimer's disease, dementia or other illness, run by the nonprofit Riverstone Senior Life Services at 99 Fort Washington Ave in Washington Heights. The highly supervised program, housed in a space designed for this population, focuses on engagement, communication and activity to help participants function at their best. Riverstone also offers caregiver support groups and a Memory Cafe for families. A reviewer describes it as a place where people with dementia who cannot be cared for at home during the day can be looked after. It is listed in New York City's registry of social adult day care programs.
