Dementia Management

October 25, 2019

All of our Care Managers are experts in the field of Alzheimer’s Disease and other related memory disorders, with years of specialized education and work experience.

With our well-trained Caregivers as part of the care plan team, we are able to implement strategies that make even the most challenging cases manageable.

We pride ourselves in using well-researched protocols of activity planning  and behavior modification to aide in decreasing the problems associated with cognitive diseases, thereby decreasing the need for psychotropic medications that can often cause severe side effects.

When it becomes necessary to use a combination of behavior and medicinal interventions, our Care Managers are adept at tracking and reporting behaviors to the Neurologist in order to optimize the medication protocol.
