Comprehensive Neurology Support and Resources for Patients and Families

Loyola Medicine provides a multitude of neurology support services and resources to help you and your family before, during and after a neurological event or condition.

These services include:

• Alzheimer’s, Dementia and Memory Disorders Clinic — This program helps with disease-related memory problems that interfere with the activities of daily living. Your neurologist will determine what has been causing recent memory problems and lay out an individualized treatment plan.
   
• Caretaker support — We work closely with patients who need supervision and their caretakers, providing education about neurological conditions and guidance on the most beneficial community resources.
   
• Genetic testing — Genetic tests may provide more information about the variants of different diseases or help couples determine if their children have inherited or could inherit a neurological condition.
   
• Geropsychiatric assessment — This evaluation determines if and to what degree psychiatric changes are affecting a senior patient.
   
• Neurology rehabilitation — Your team will help you to regain or improve upon skills such as walking, talking, muscle control and the activities and tasks of everyday living.
   
• Nutritional therapy — Patients tend to lose or gain weight with some neurological conditions, but your team will instruct you on the best way to manage your weight and nutrition going forward.
   
• Occupational therapy — Patients with some neurological conditions may require rehabilitation to carry out the daily activities of life. Loyola’s experienced, certified and licensed occupational therapists will help you get back to a more independent life.
