As our aging population increases, memory loss is becoming more of a problem than ever. Therefore, those experiencing memory loss or the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease may want to have their problem evaluated to determine the best course of treatment.
Whether you have been diagnosed or want to be diagnosed, the effects of memory loss can be debilitating, so it is imperative to take the steps necessary to maintain your independence for as long as possible.
The Memory Training Center is trained in testing, diagnosing and treating memory disorders. Cognitive and neuro-psychological testing, performed by professionals in the medical field, assess each individual’s strengths and weaknesses so that a personalized treatment plan can be developed. The treatment programs can improve memory problems so that those affected can maintain their roles as functioning members of their communities.
For those who have not begun to experience memory loss but want to maintain healthy cognitive functions throughout their lives, The Memory Training Center offers preventative programs. The Center provides memory “gyms” where healthy individuals can exercise their memory functioning and build a reserve of prevention to guard against future memory loss. Physical exercise, proper nutrition and vitamin supplements all have preventative benefits.
To begin improving the quality of your life, visit the Memory Training Center in suite 3B at 108-10 72nd Avenue in Forest Hills.
Run by Dr. Bruce Brotter and Dr. Peter Magaro, the Forest Hills center is unique in that it even offers outpatient services to those in area nursing homes.
