Wheaton Franciscan Memory Diagnostic Center

Diagnostic Services: Diagnosis involves evaluation by team consisting of a board certified geriatrician, a psychologist, a social worker and a registered nurse. We take into account many aspects of the individual’s life in an effort to fully understand, diagnose and treat the problems people are having. In addition to performing a broad array of diagnostic tests, clinic staff may involve other health care professionals, such as behavioral specialists, dietitians, pharmacists, physical therapists and occupational therapists, in the evaluation process. Recommendations for care are made based on the specific needs of the individual.

Caregiver Support: In addition to evaluating the needs of the person with dementia, we also turn our attention to the needs of the caregiver. Based on an individualized assessment of those needs, we provide a variety of services such as: ongoing follow-up and support, helping people find appropriate community resources, and social work and psychology referrals. The clinics also have a library of educational materials to help people learn about dementia, dementia treatment and behavior management.
