Alzheimer's Research and Treatment Center

The staff is professional, respectful, and supportive of it's patients. This is a magnificent, impressive building. From the moment you enter you develop a sense of confidence in the program and staff. I highly recommend this Center.

This is a wonderful facility filled with friendly, compationate medical workers. I, unfortunately, had to move from the area; I miss spending every other Wed with them. If you suspect you have a memory problem and live in the area, I highly suggest your visiting this facility to see if their services are right for you.

This is a very caring facility and the staff treat the patients with the upmost respect. The atmosphere is very calming and the facility is very clean and the decor is artfully tasteful.

I passed this brand new building as it was being built and wondered what it would become. It is in the same shopping center as Trader Joes, Designers Touch Jewelry etc. I called them because sometimes I have a hard time remembering a word. I noticed it happening more recently than it did 5 years ago. They are a research facility and there is no out of pocket charge to you. They get their money should you qualify for any of their clinical trials. They told me the test would take about 90 minutes but I was in and out in about an hour. You sign in and wait. I was greeted by Diana, and she walked me back to her office. She was very nice and the one who asked most of the questions. The questions ranged from drawing something that they showed me (no artist skills needed here) to counting from 100 backwards and naming the 7th #. Example, 100 then 93, then 86 etc. Math has never been a strong point of mine and I had to actually use my fingers lol. Then came the tough part where I though I surely failed and I was going to forget my husband and mother! They give you a list of words that have nothing to do with each other and you have to repeat as many as you can remember. She does that same list 5 times. Each time you are to repeat as many as you remember, even the ones you previously repeated. Then she tells me that I to now go sit with the Dr. (good lord, what did I get myself into I am thinking) Then Dr. Thomas sat with myself and another Dr (can't remember his name) and asked me some more questions. What did you have for dinner, certain dates and anniversaries, medication I am on etc. Then he went over the test. I tested in he "Normal" range for someone my age. I asked things I can do to help improve memory and he said what any typical Dr might say. Get a good nights sleep, try to not have stress, eat a good diet, do more exercise etc. But then he said : learning a new language, or joining a book club is good because he isn't just about cramming stuff into your brain, it is about what you can pull back out of it. That advice right there is probably the most useful information I could have ever been told! I figured, I read books, I am good. But I do not discuss them with others or attempt to pull the memories back out! All in all it was a great place and an informative visit. The only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is this is covid times and employees kept holding the elevator door for more employees. There was 6 people in an elevator that in itself was probably only 6 feet X 8 feet. The other reason is the 2 older women telling me I can not take photos because everything needed to go through corporate and I cant take photos of patients. I was the only one there and no people photos were taken. They seemed like they might have been managers or something but in no way were they friendly at all. Everyone else I met there was super nice.
