How We Help You Beyond The Diagnosis...

Did you know a dementia diagnosis is accurate only 90% of the time?

A general practitioner or primary care doctor is usually the first contact when concerns about thinking or memory arise. They will review your medical history and may carry out a brief test of memory and concentration. If there’s a possibility of dementia, the patient may be referred to a specialist or memory center. Your choice of doctor is up to you – so if after your visit you are still concerned, you may wish to ask for a second opinion.

Many neurocognitive disorders are mistakenly labeled as “dementia,” when older patients exhibit symptoms of cognitive impairment and decline. People with significant memory loss, behavior or personality changes may be classified as having a Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). There are also other neurocogitive conditions such as progressive supranuclear palsy that is commonly misdiagnosed as Parkinson’s disease.  More research, observation, and consultations with a specialist are needed to properly diagnose these neurocognitive disorders. 

ElderHealth is a medical group with a geriatrician, nurse practitioners, and social workers that specialize in cognitive care. We also have a referral directory of neurologists, geriatric psychiatrists, and neuropsychologists that are available to you upon request.

  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • vascular dementia
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Lewy body disease
  • frontotemporal degeneration
  • traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • prion disease, transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is the most common
  • Huntington’s disease

We offer additional insight into issues that you’re having with a diagnosis, medications, and lifestyle changes. We can help you find additional information and resources to help you manage daily struggles in routines, behavior, and environment. During your telemedicine appointment you will be connected with a specialist that will assist you with your specific needs and concerns. Then you can take the information and advice discussed to your existing primary care doctor. We also consult with caregivers, nurses, families and care partners to maximize success with providing geriatric and memory care at home.
