The Boston University Alzheimer’s Disease Center (BU ADC) offers multiple clinical services for older adults with memory loss or suspected Alzheimer’s disease (AD). These services are outlined below:
- We perform memory diagnostic workups to help distinguish between normal aging and abnormal memory loss due to a neurodegenerative condition, such as Alzheimer’s disease,
- We offer medical treatment and follow-up care for patients diagnosed with AD and related disorders,
- We provide support and consultation to patients and families for long-term planning, caregiver respite, and education,
- We make referrals to community resources, such as adult day programs, and
- Opportunities are available to participate in cutting-edge clinical trials of new agents to treat neurodegenerative diseases, such as AD.
To refer a patient to one of our Center’s clinics, please call 617-638-7100. For more information on BU ADC Clinical Care Services and locations, please visit our Clinical Care webpage.
Early identification and appropriate treatment can help slow the progression of memory loss. For example, there are a number of medications for the treatment of AD that are currently approved and on the market. The following resources provide information about available treatment options for AD patients.
