Our Board Certified Geriatric Psychiatrist from the faculty of Robert Wood Johnson Medical School leads a dynamic team of geriatric specialists to provide the  initial evaluations of memory problems, ongoing treatment and medication management.

We Diagnose

Our initial diagnostic evaluation includes:

• Psychosocial assessment
• Cognitive testing
• Psychological assessment
• Review of medical history, labs, blood tests and scans
• Special feedback session to discuss results with patient and family

We Treat

Individuals who have already been diagnosed with a dementia can come to the Clinic for ongoing care. Each patient and caregiver will meet regularly with the Clinic team, who will monitor the progression of the disease and advise family members about the latest treatments.

Anyone who has cared for someone with Alzheimer’s disease knows that dementia is much more than memory problems. Clinic staff will:

• Identify the problem behavior
• Develop an individualized treatment plan
• Explain management and communication techniques
• Prescribe medications (where applicable)
• Refer to community services

We Support

The diagnosis of dementia has a profound impact on the family. Therefore we focus as much attention on caregivers as we do the patient. At each appointment we discuss the results of our assessment of the patient and explain how this will impact the caregiver. Social work and case management staff are available on an ongoing basis to assist families with problems related to the illness. Referrals are made to community services such as day care, support groups and benefit programs. Assistance with legal, financial and long term care planning is available.
