Dementia is a progressive brain disease that usually manifests itself in patients with forgetfulness and leads to difficulties in memory, attention, language, planning and activities of daily living. Dementia, one of the most common health problems in the elderly population, is a multidimensional condition that affects not only the patient but also family members. Although the most common cause is Alzheimer's disease, there are many different diseases other than Alzheimer's that cause dementia.
As Kocaeli Romatem Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Hospital, our aim is to improve the quality of daily life of dementia patients, slow down the progression of the disease and provide proper guidance to the relatives of the patients.
Our Approach to Dementia Treatment
- Neurological Evaluation and Diagnosis: Our patients first undergo a neurological examination. The examination process is supported by laboratory, brain imaging and neuropsychological tests.
- Drug Treatment: Medications appropriate to the clinical picture of the patient are planned to slow down the progression of forgetfulness, attention problems, behavioral changes, and positive effects on sleep problems are tried to be achieved.
- Physical Activity and Rehabilitation: Regular exercise helps to maintain mobility, reduce balance problems and prevent the risk of falls.
- Psychosocial Support: The patient and family are informed about the emotional and social difficulties that may be experienced during the process
- Family Education and Counseling: It is ensured that relatives caring for the person with dementia are informed, taught the right approach methods and practical suggestions are shared to make life easier.
Our target
Although there is no definitive cure for dementia, early diagnosis, regular follow-up and personalized treatment programs aim to help patients maintain their independence for longer and improve their quality of life.
