Our multidisciplinary approach focuses on managing symptoms, enhancing quality of life, and supporting loved ones through personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

Understanding Dementia

Dementia is a progressive condition affecting cognitive functions like memory, thinking, and behavior. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form, but other types include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. Our specialists are dedicated to accurate diagnosis and holistic management to slow progression and address symptoms.

Our Dementia Treatment Services

1. Comprehensive Diagnosis

Effective treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis. We offer:

Detailed Assessments: Thorough medical history, cognitive testing, and behavioral evaluations.
Advanced Diagnostics: Brain imaging (e.g., MRI, PET scans) and lab tests to identify dementia type and rule out reversible causes.
Personalized Diagnosis: Pinpointing the specific dementia type to guide treatment.

2. Medication-Based Treatments

Medications can help manage symptoms and, in some cases, slow disease progression:

Cognitive Enhancers: Drugs like donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), or memantine (Namenda) for Alzheimer’s and related dementias.
Symptom Management: Medications to address mood changes, sleep disturbances, or agitation, tailored to minimize side effects.
Ongoing Monitoring: Regular follow-ups to adjust treatments and ensure safety.

3. Non-Pharmacological Therapies

We emphasize therapies to support cognitive function and well-being:

Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST): Structured activities to engage memory and thinking skills.
Behavioral Therapy: Strategies to manage challenging behaviors like agitation or anxiety.
Occupational Therapy: Support for daily activities to promote independence.
Speech and Language Therapy: Assistance with communication difficulties.

4. Lifestyle and Supportive Care
