Program Overview

The program provides comprehensive outpatient assessment and treatment of memory disorders.

Whenever memory problems interfere with daily living, work, finances, shopping, dressing, bathing and routine chores, an evaluation is necessary. Memory may be improved or the progression of memory loss slowed with early treatment. Our clinical staff will conduct a detailed examination focusing on memory problems, possible causes and will provide specialized verbal and written testing.

Treatment is determined by diagnosis and medical findings. There are, for example, several options available for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, including medications, participation in therapeutic clinical trials and/or cognitive remediation.
