Afecciones que tratamos

Demencia

Dementia is a descriptive term for a collection of symptoms that can be caused by a number of disorders affecting the brain. Por definición, es una disminución grave de la capacidad mental que interfiere con la vida diaria. Cierta pérdida de memoria puede ocurrir con el proceso de envejecimiento normal; sin embargo, la demencia es más grave. Afecta la capacidad de organizar pensamientos, usar el lenguaje y ver con precisión el mundo visual. La enfermedad de Alzheimer es la forma más común de demencia.

Enfermedad de Alzheimer

  • Pérdida de memoria
  • Dificultad para realizar tareas
  • Problemas de lenguaje
  • Desorientación
  • Cambios de humor o comportamiento
  • Pérdida de interés en las rutinas diarias normales
 

Tips for the Newly Diagnosed

It's not easy to find out you have Alzheimer's disease. But you're not alone. There are things you and your family can do so you can live your best life possible.


Rehabilitación cognitiva

Cognitive Rehabilitation is a form of therapy that focuses on restoring, strengthening, and sharpening cognitive functions impaired due to brain degeneration, aging, or another medical incident. Dr. Jon Artz and Dr. Davor Zink have extensive experience and expertise in providing a specialized cognitive rehabilitation care plan—including cognitive exercises to perform, hands-on, bridging activities, and cognitive strategies to improve their everyday life.

Who We Treat

The Cognitive Rehab program is structured for a wide array of patients who have memory or cognitive impairment. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) can occur in a person who notices that they are having memory or thinking problems, but it isn't enough to impair their day-to-day functioning.
  • Early-stage Alzheimer’s
  • Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) potential – over the age of 60
  • Memory problems
  • Those being referred to a Neurologist
  • Envejecimiento
  • Reducing risk (lifestyle)
  • Memory issues but still high functioning
