Place is a beautiful, welcoming historic home in Roswell with a rambling front porch complete with white rockers, at 14 Sloan Street, right off the old park square behind Spiced Right BBQ. There are flowers in the yard and often you’ll find Earl, the resident Schnauzer is in the yard too. Everything about Amy’s Place is relaxed and welcoming, which is what it is meant to be, since the purpose of Amy’s Place is connecting families that are facing dementia through programming, support groups, and just good old-fashioned visits with friends who understand… for a cup of tea and a hug! If someone you love has dementia, or cares for someone with dementia, don’t “go it alone!” Tune in to this broadcast, Call Amy’s Place at 470-349-8349 or check out http://www.caringtogetherinhope.org/
