Services

No person is born with the skills and strategies to cope with life’s challenges. They are learned. We believe education is the key factor in effectively managing your loved one’s dementia care. Education can improve communication, increase support among family members, and reduce the patient and caregiver’s stress.

We believe the more knowledgeable you are, the easier your care-giving task will be.

Our Services Include:

  • Individual psycho-social therapy for Alzheimer’s and other dementia patients
  • Individual therapy for the caregiver
  • Family therapy
  • Distant caregiver services

During the course of treatment our weekly meetings cover a wide variety of issues and topics designed to provide the best quality of life during each phase of the disease.

  • Managing behavioral problems associated with the disease
  • Patient and caregiver education
