DEMENTIA MANAGEMENT

Our team includes geriatricians who specialise in the management of elderly care, neuropsychologists who help with the diagnosis of dementia by evaluating the cognitive function, rehabilitation physicians, physiotherapists and occupational therapists who work together to help manage the rehab programme.

Several dementia symptoms and behaviour conditions in the early- to mid- stages can be managed through active rehabilitation. Cognitive rehabilitation is one key component in the rehab programme, whereby occupational therapists help to train patients in simple tasks that can make daily life much easier.

Dementia may not be reversible but the rate of degeneration can be delayed if early management is done well.
