In 2019, the Comstock Community Center began exploring the idea of creating a dedicated Memory Center to serve adults experiencing cognitive decline, dementia, and Alzheimer’s. After conducting a market study and identifying a need in our community, we committed to making that vision a reality. The project faced several challenges, including COVID-19, rising construction costs, and lengthy permitting and inspection processes. Despite these obstacles, we continued to invest in the project and opened the Courter Memory Center in January 2025.

During its year and nine months of operation, the Memory Center welcomed more than 20 individuals and provided structured daytime care in a warm, supportive environment. The Center also offered educational opportunities for the community and worked with our Learning Center to create meaningful intergenerational experiences.

Unfortunately, participation did not reach the level needed to sustain the Center. On September 8, 2026, the Comstock Community Center Board made the difficult decision to close the Courter Memory Center. This was not a decision made lightly, and we are deeply grateful to the families, community members, and staff who supported the Center and helped make its mission possible.

While this chapter is closing, the Comstock Community Center remains committed to responding to the changing needs of our community. We are proud of the many programs and services offered throughout our organization and look forward to continuing to serve our community in new and meaningful ways.
