About Us

Memory & Movement Charlotte is a nonprofit medical practice that redefines care for people living with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and related conditions. We recognize the critical role of caregivers throughout each patient’s journey and provide clinical diagnosis and treatment, support and education every step of the way, for both the patient and their caregivers.

Why a nonprofit?

We are committed to providing the time and attention every family needs. Our appointments last 60-120 minutes and include a multi-disciplinary care team. In addition to clinical care, we prioritize caregiver support and education. Insurance carriers do not reimburse us for the full cost of this comprehensive approach.

Grant funding, generous private donations and a modest annual fee offset the difference and make this model of care possible. We are also committed to making care accessible, and scholarships are available for patients who need assistance paying the annual fee. We are deeply grateful to Southminster for their support of this scholarship fund.

Mission:

To empower individuals with memory and movement disorders and their families to take charge of their journeys in an environment of empathy, compassion, dignity and respect.

Vision:

Memory & Movement Charlotte continually elevates the care and support of individuals and families with memory and movement disorders.

Values:

  • Time and Attention: We develop a unique care plan for each patient and prioritize caregivers’ questions and concerns.
  • Profound Empathy: We care for patients and their loved ones in the most sound and compassionate way.

A Growing Need

  • as the overall population ages
  • as diagnoses of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s and related disorders climbs

In North Carolina, over 210,000 people are living with Alzheimer’s disease and over 338,000 family members and friends are providing care. Close to one million Americans live with Parkinson’s disease, over 36,000 of them in the Carolinas. An estimated 4% are diagnosed before age 50.
