Jereme & Ashley Goforth, Founders of Whole Life Senior Memories
Who We Are
Whole Life Senior Memories is a coming-soon Senior Day Program in Waterford, Michigan, created by Jereme and Ashley Goforth — the owners of Whole Life Senior Care. We’ve spent years serving seniors and families in North Oakland County, and we saw a need for something different: a place where seniors can spend their days feeling more than just safe, but truly known, engaged, and happy.
Who Is Whole Life Senior Memories For?
Our program is ideal for seniors who:
-
Have memory limitations but few major physical limitations
-
Feel lonely, bored, or isolated at home
-
No longer drive and need help getting out of the house
-
Need daily supervision while adult children are at work
-
Want to stay at home but need help with routine, meals, and socialization
-
Are experiencing depression or loss of purpose and would benefit from meaningful daily activities
What Makes Us Different?
We’re not just passing time. We’re making memories, preserving dignity, and supporting families.
Making Memories, Not Just Filling Hours
Every client builds a personalized “memory database” of activities, crafts, outings, and experiences during their time in our program — a living record of days well spent.
Low Ratios, High Attention
Our 1:6 staff-to-client ratio means seniors get real interaction, careful observation, and timely support.
Top Pay for Top Caregivers
We pay our staff above industry standards to attract and retain the kind of caregivers we’d trust with our own family — because that’s exactly what they are.
Family-Focused Approach
We understand the “sandwich generation” and stand beside families who are caring for aging parents while raising children and working.
Concierge Transitions
For an additional cost, a trained aide can come to the home, help your loved one get up, dressed, and ready, transport them to our program, and later return with them to get settled back home.
Making Fun Memories Every Day
Our entire program is built around making memories while keeping the brain working and the body moving. Each senior has the opportunity to participate in crafts, activities, games, outings, and social experiences that are meaningful to them.
Over time, these moments are collected into a personalized “memory database” — a record of projects they completed, places they visited, and experiences they enjoyed. Families can look back and see not just that their loved one was “taken care of,” but that they were living, laughing, and creating.

For the Sandwich Generation:
You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
If you’re caring for an aging parent while raising your own children or maintaining a career, you are carrying a lot. The guilt, the exhaustion, the constant worry — it’s a heavy load.
We understand how hard it is to watch a parent or spouse decline, especially when their disease changes the person you remember them to be. We also know that no single person, especially an older spouse or a busy adult child, can do this alone.
Whole Life Senior Memories exists to walk beside you. We provide education, emotional support, and a safe place for your loved one to spend their days, so you can keep being their son, daughter, or spouse — not just their exhausted caregiver.
We will remind you that you are doing what’s best. We will support you when you feel like you’re not doing enough. And we’ll help your loved one live their best possible days.
How to Get Started (Pre-Opening)
We’re currently in the final stages of securing our location and preparing our space. While the doors are not open just yet, we are actively connecting with families and building our interest list.
1. Schedule a Pre-Opening Call
Talk with Jereme or Ashley about your situation, your loved one, and your questions.​​
2. Reserve a Spot
If you already know this is the right fit, you can reserve a space on our pre-opening list so you’re among the first to be contacted when we have opening dates.
3. Stay Updated
We’ll keep you informed as lease approval, buildout, and licensing progress — and let you know as soon as we’re ready to welcome your loved one.
Ready to Talk About Your Loved One?
Whether you’re just beginning to explore options or you’re feeling overwhelmed and need support now, we’d love to hear your story and see how we can help.
