Taking a holistic approach to promote overall wellness is a top priority at University Hospitals. Our neurological specialists work collaboratively across disciplines to make sure a patient’s physical, mental and emotional needs are met. Every patient in our care for memory disorders is also assigned a social worker to help navigate their treatment experience across any clinical specialty.

On the first visit, a group of providers, including social workers, nurses, and physicians, perform a series of clinical and psychological tests to gauge memory and the ability to complete everyday tasks. During this time, the team also determines what other medical conditions could be affecting brain function and memory. The team then develops a customized treatment plan that addresses the medical, emotional and social issues connected to your condition.

Treatment plans are based on the latest research and most effective drug therapies available. With multiple locations, we also provide treatment close to home, making it easy for you or your loved one to access the services needed.

We strive to help patients understand and feel comfortable with their entire treatment plan. Our team is also available to answer any questions you may have, at any time.

In addition, we partner with several community organizations, such as caregiver support groups, that work with patients and their families to handle the challenges associated with memory impairment.
