Memory Care Program at MyMichigan Medical Center Midland
If you are concerned that you or someone you love may be experiencing possible problems with memory or cognition, MyMichigan’s Memory Care Program can help.
The program is designed to provide the information, care and support that patients and their families need to navigate the difficult challenges of declining cognition.
Don’t put off seeking answers out of fear. Memory Care is an emerging field with many exciting developments. The sooner we identify your needs, the more options are available to preserve quality of life and provide peace of mind.
What to Expect
We encourage patients to bring their household family members and others who will be closely involved in their care to their appointment. At your initial appointment, we will conduct:
- A thorough history and physical examination
- Memory testing
- Screening for related factors that may be impacting your condition, such as dementia, depression, anxiety, insomnia or other neuropsychological concerns
- An assessment of caregiver needs and concerns
We will provide personalize recommendations and resources to slow the progression of decline, optimize quality of life and reduce patient and caregiver stress. Our team will continue to meet with you and your family periodically throughout the course of your condition to evaluate progress and adjust your plan as needed. During this time you will continue to see your primary care provider and regular specialists for your other health needs.
