About Memory Disorders Center at the Alexian Brothers Neurosciences Institute

Contrary to popular opinion, memory loss is not a normal part of aging. It can be frightening for everyone involved. The leading cause of memory problems in older adults is dementia and common symptoms include:

• Increasing forgetfulness
• Inability to concentrate
• Putting things where they don't belong
• Change in sleep patterns
• Difficulty with daily tasks or more complicated problem solving
• Forgetting dates or how to get to familiar destinations
• Changes in mood or behavior
• Forgetting common words or using the wrong words
• Loss of interest in people, things, or activities
• Doing things that don't seem to make sense

If someone you love experiences one or more of these symptoms, we can help. The Memory Disorders Center at Alexian Brothers Neuroscience Institute provides a thorough evaluation, accurate diagnosis, and uniquely designed treatment approaches for those with memory disorders.

In addition to a thorough evaluation, we also can help you plan for your family's future. We show you how the Memory Center and other resources can guide and support your loved one and family as symptoms progress. Our goal is to help your loved one experience the highest quality of life possible.
