Study after study of older adults shows their greatest age-related concerns are loss of independence and deteriorating health. Drill down from there and you’ll find that dementia of any type is among the most feared conditions.
Dignity Health Yavapai Regional Medical Group (YRMG) features geriatrics programs that address these fears and support “enduring quality” for dementia patients and their caregivers. Our programs include:
- Dementia Screening Clinic (DSC) – A multidisciplinary team of experts come together under one roof to perform comprehensive brain health evaluations. The DSC team includes a neuropsychologist, palliative medicine physician, pharmacist, social worker and nurse navigator.
- Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care – The Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care program provides the support system people with dementia and their care partners need to continue living in the community.
