We See Dementia Differently

That is why we built the Cognitive Aging Research and Education (CARE) Center – a clinical, research, and outreach space where we deliver education on dementia risk reduction, conduct cutting-edge research and provide planning and support for persons with dementia and their care partners.

Our partnerships extend to Cooperative Extension, Archway Partnership, and the Augusta-UGA Medical Partnership. We are a team of interdisciplinary researchers, dedicated educators and students, and authentic communicators working together to change dementia education, diagnosis, and support as we know it – expanding services to rural communities across the state.
