Alzheimer's Disease
and Memory Disorders Center
at Rhode Island Hospital
 Our Services
The center’s neurologists are memory disorder
specialists, who offer their patients the latest
advances in memory disorder diagnosis and
treatment.
To ensure an accurate diagnosis we provide a
thorough evaluation of each patient, which includes
a careful look at his or her medical history, a
physical examination and neuropsychological
testing of mental functions. Neuroimaging— positron emission tomography (PET), single
photon emission computed tomography
(SPECT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),
and computed tomography (CT)— may also be
used during the evaluation process, along with
other laboratory tests.
In addition to this clinical diagnostic evaluation
and treatment, we offer:
- Consultation with Rhode Island Hospital staff
psychiatrists for counseling and treatment of
behavioral problems
- Genetic testing for hereditary dementia
- Social services/referral to services to help our
patients and their families find the support
they need within their communities
- Speech and occupational therapy to help
our patients live their lives to their fullest
capabilities
- Support for our patients’ caregivers, who are
an important part of each patient’s health
care team.
