With

is often duplicated,
as studies have
shown that our
approach is
extremely beneficial
to the patient and

suffer from
Alzheimer's disease
or dementia, but
have been diagnosed
with other chronic
conditions such

disease, arthritis,

failure (CHF),
anxiety and/or
depression.
Our care managers
create, implement
and monitor an

that
not only provides
ongoing and
continuous care, but
that incorporates
all of the medical,
physical, social,
psychological and
spiritual needs of
the patient. Each
care manager directs
a multidisciplinary
team that assures
that all of
the patient's needs
are met.
