Description:
The Dementia Care Program is a comprehensive program for people with dementia and their families. The program provides diagnosis, treatment, education, support services and long term follow-up. Our program relies on the collaborative efforts of primary care physicians and professionals in the areas of geriatrics, behavioral health and neurology.
If you or a family member are experiencing problems with memory, judgment, daily functions or changes in personality, a visit to our Dementia Care Program could help diagnose the problem. These symptoms may be caused by dementia. Dementia is not a normal part of aging, therefore, it is important to get a diagnosis to identify the actual cause of the problem so that you can receive proper care.
Once you or a family member has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's or another dementia, you can work with our professional staff to explore your options. Depending on your individual needs and circumstances, the professionals from our Dementia Care Program will assist you in making decisions that work best for your situation.
We monitor our patients for progression of the disease, so that we can provide the best care at the appropriate time. We will be there for you and your loved ones throughout the course of the disease, assisting you with each step.
Exciting developments in the treatment of Alzheimer's and other dementias are on the horizon. We are up to date with the new medications that promise real hope for patients and their families.
