Understanding the importance of helping patients with Alzheimer's Disease, the Alzheimer s and Parkinson s Disease Program was created. The sole focus of this program is to conduct research and care for patients afflicted with this disease. The professional staff for this program consists of highly trained neurologists, nurses and social workers with experience in neurodegenerative disorders. A special clinic evaluates patients and devises individual management plans. Because Alzheimer's Disease adversely effects both patients, as well as their families, special classes are held to educate individuals who will serve as caregivers.
Counseling is recommended for patients and their families, and is available at our facility.
Counseling sessions are administered by experienced and supportive staff councilors who have the experience and compassion necessary to help individuals cope as they care for loved ones living with this debilitating condition.
