About Dementia Enrichment Center
It is our pleasure—and our passion—to walk this journey with you.
Dementia Enrichment Center is a Belton community created around meaningful days for people living with dementia and practical support for the people who care for them.
A renewed chapter
Meet the owners: Dr. Jonathan Gary and Emily Gary.
Jonathan and Emily lead Dementia Enrichment Center into its next chapter. The center’s new-owner announcement describes that chapter simply: “Same heart, renewed vision.”
We did not find our way here by accident. And neither did you.
Our guiding words
Dementia is a journey. We walk it with you.
That means caring about the participant’s experience while also recognizing the questions, work, and emotion carried by family caregivers.
Thoughtful by design
A familiar setting made for connection
Secure outdoor access
A screened patio, secure yard, mature oak trees, walking paths, and outdoor experiences expand the day beyond four walls.
Meaningful daily rhythm
Structured activities, onsite meals and snacks, sensory experiences, and opportunities for community outings support varied interests.
Qualified support
Staff preparation matters.
Team members complete background checks and are certified in CPR and First Aid. Staff also receive Dementia Capable Care certification from Crisis Prevention Institute and ongoing training informed by current dementia-care practices.
