However, when it becomes progressively worse and interferes with daily life, a medical screening and evaluation can make a difference with detection. Our caring team approach can offer effective treatment options that are right for you or your loved one. The mission of Alzheimer's Community Care is to promote and provide specialized, quality and compassionate care within a community-based environment for patients and caregivers living with Alzheimer's disease and related neurocognitive disorders.
