The Center of Excellence for Alzheimer's Disease provides resources and experts who can assist primary care physicians and other medical specialty providers with the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and other related dementias. We provide comprehensive care plans, and the management of complex cases, including referrals to specialty care while offering technical assistance to your existing physicians. The center also functions as an educational resource that can help physicians with difficult diagnoses, and can provide a second opinion to families who are unsure about the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.

The center serves as a regional resource for up-to-date information about Alzheimer’s disease, and providing continuing professional education to workers in senior centers, assisted living facilities and nursing homes throughout the year.

The Center has recently developed a comprehensive list of Alzheimer’s Disease Information and resources for dissemination.

The center’s staff assists family members by recommending resources and supports. We advocate with and on the behalf of caregivers to raise awareness of caregiver stress and caregiver burn out.
