My Friend's Place
My Friend's Place is a social activity program for people coping with memory loss, dementia, or who are socially isolated. It is our mission to provide adults a safe, supportive, and friendly environment that offers life-enriching social and recreational activities as well as respite for their caregivers. Additionally, we offer Memory Joggers, an early memory loss (EML) program. A typical day at Memory Joggers includes brain teasers, games, puzzles and memory tips.

My Friend's Place Director
My name is Lisa L Jordan. I previously worked at EMMC/Northern Light for 18 ½ years. The last 9 years I worked at Cancer Care of Maine as a patient advocate and an appeals/denials specialist. My husband Terry and I have 2 grown children; Jen her husband Jon, and Justin and his wife Arica. We have 4 beautiful grandchildren. I enjoy doing most crafts with my current craft of choice being stained glass.
My Mother, Gladys,,attended My Friend's Place and Memory Joggers in 2015 and 2016. She was diagnosed with Alzheimers in 2011; I made it my mission to understand as much as possible about this disease . I was one of her primary care partners, and and came to understand the journey of loving someone with memory loss. MFP was such a blessing for my mother and our family! Mom had a place to go that was independent from her family, where she could socialize with friends and feel some independance. A place she could laugh, socialize and participate in the days activities.
I am honored to be the Director of My Friends Place . Skippy is our program coordinator and one of the founders of MFP. We have the most dedicated and trained volunteers who make this program so successful.
