Patient Information
Specialising in the care of older patients and the diseases that impact them, we can diagnose and provide long-term support for those with dementia and their families. We offer comprehensive geriatric assessments for those over 65 (or 55 and over for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people) and can arrange home visits where distance permits.
Our services, outlined below, are available as part of the Healthy Brain Ageing Clinic research program for eligible patients or as a private appointment at the same expert facilities or your own home.
Cognitive health check
If you have noticed any changes or concerns in your thinking or memory, at any age, taking a proactive approach and seeking a cognitive health check can determine if there is anything serious going on. We can then outline steps you can take to improve the health of your brain and lower your risk of developing dementia.
Dementia diagnosis and management
Where a diagnosis of dementia seems likely we can clarify this and develop a multifaceted management plan with ongoing support for you and your family. Staying in touch with a clinic such as ours keeps you connected to developments in the enormous global effort to find effective treatment and management strategies for dementia.
Comprehensive geriatric assessment
For those over 65, this is an opportunity for a longer session to look at your general health, medications, mobility and cognition in order to assist you in achieving your goals for health and independence as you age. These can be conducted in the home (distance permitting) or in our Camperdown clinic.
