Memory and Cognitive Disorders

Changes in memory are a normal part of aging, but when they occur suddenly or significantly interfere with the ability to perform daily activities, medical attention may be needed.

At Atlantic Health System Neuroscience, we have a Memory and Cognitive Disorders Program that can pinpoint the specific cause of neurodegenerative conditions, like memory loss, and develop an effective plan to treat it. Some of the more common conditions we treat include:

• Alzheimer’s disease
• Dementia with lewy bodies
• Frontotemporal dementia
• Mild cognitive impairment
• Normal pressure hydrocephalus
• Parkinson’s disease dementia

Our highly-specialized team will work with patients, families and referring physicians to coordinate treatment, follow-up care and education, and make referrals to other services, when necessary.

Most health insurance plans, including Medicare are accepted, but authorization may be required. Patients should always check with their individual carriers to determine our participation with their plan and authorization requirements.
