CENTRAL MINNESOTA DEMENTIA COMMUNITY ACTION NETWORK

DEMENTIA COMMUNITY ACTION NETWORK AND OUR SUPPORTING PARTNERS ARE ON A MISSION TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO QUALITY DEMENTIA CARE IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA. WE BELIEVE THAT COLLABORATING WITH A PATIENT, THEIR FAMILY AND THEIR DEMENTIA CLINICIAN CAN SLOW PROGRESSION OF DEMENTIA SYMPTOMS LEADING TO MORE LIFE TO LIVE. WE START WITH A THOROUGH DEMENTIA RISK ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION IN OUR OFFICE, THEN FORMULATE A DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT PLAN. A PATIENT'S REFERRING PRIMARY CARE OR SPECIALTY CLINICIAN REMAINS IN CHARGE OF THEIR CARE, BUT WE PARTNER WITH THEM TOPROVIDE A MORE THOROUGH AND SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT. THROUGH PERSONALIZED RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DIET, EXERCISE, SLEEP, RELAXATION, PERSONAL CONNECTION, HEALTH HABITS, AND THERAPEUTICS CAN BE EFFECTIVE IN SLOWING PROGRESSION.TOGETHER, WE ARE ENDING THE FEAR OF DEMENTIA.
