Dementia & Memory Care Support
Coordinated Medicare primary care designed to help seniors remain healthy, independent, and safely at home.
Compassionate Care for Cognitive Decline
A diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer's disease alters the trajectory of a senior's life and dramatically impacts the entire family unit. The progression of cognitive decline introduces complex behavioral changes, safety risks, and immense caregiver stress that a standard 15-minute primary care visit simply cannot address.
At Primary Clinic Senior Care, we offer specialized Dementia & Memory Care Support. Our providers take a deeply compassionate, high-touch approach to managing cognitive disorders. We focus not only on the medical treatment of the patient but also on the education, emotional support, and practical resource coordination required by family caregivers to safely navigate this challenging journey.
Real-World Outcomes
Enhanced Home Safety
We conduct thorough reviews of the living environment to prevent wandering, eliminate fall hazards, and ensure the patient remains safe at home.
Behavioral Management
Our clinical team provides expert guidance on managing agitation, sundowning, and sleep disturbances using both behavioral techniques and careful medication adjustments.
Caregiver Empowerment
We act as an anchor for the family, offering education on disease progression, facilitating connections to local support groups, and helping coordinate in-home aid.
Who benefits from Memory Care Support?
Our memory care program is designed for patients experiencing various stages of cognitive decline, as well as the families supporting them. We manage:
- • Alzheimer's Disease
- • Vascular Dementia
- • Lewy Body Dementia
- • Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)
- • Parkinson's Disease Dementia
Supporting the Whole Family
Dementia is a family diagnosis. We recognize that the well-being of the patient is directly tied to the physical and emotional health of the caregiver. Our concierge-level care ensures you never navigate this path alone.
What to Expect
Comprehensive Evaluation
We perform detailed cognitive assessments to establish a baseline, identify potentially reversible causes of confusion (such as infections or medication side effects), and confirm the diagnosis.
Advance Care Planning
We guide families through the difficult but necessary conversations regarding Healthcare Power of Attorney, living wills, and long-term care goals while the patient is still able to participate.
Resource Coordination
As the disease progresses, we actively coordinate referrals for neurology specialists, home health occupational therapy, adult day programs, and eventually palliative or hospice care.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you prescribe medications for dementia?
Yes. Our providers can prescribe and manage medications aimed at slowing cognitive decline or managing the behavioral symptoms associated with dementia, closely monitoring for side effects.
How does virtual care work for a patient with dementia?
For patients with moderate to advanced dementia, we rely heavily on the caregiver to facilitate the virtual visit. This actually reduces the patient's anxiety by allowing them to receive care in their familiar home environment without the stress of transportation and waiting rooms.
Is this service covered by Medicare?
Yes. Medicare covers cognitive assessments, chronic care management, and advance care planning. Standard deductibles and coinsurance will apply.
