How We are Different
Our healthcare system can be very frustrating. You have noticed symptoms in your loved one for months if not a year. Tepidness and anxiety occupy your days and nights. You sit and nod through 20 mins in an office with your loved one's doctor or neurologist. They do a work-up and go through a checklist and tell you your loved one has dementia. They hand you a brochure with websites and organizations, then you are on your way home.
Now what? We start where your loved ones last doctor's visit ended.
