MemoryCare was established in 2000 in response to a need for a program that could both provide excellent medical care for individuals with cognitive impairment and individualized support services for their caregivers and families. Caregivers are welcomed to participate actively in every office visit and pairs multiple caregivers for each cognitively impaired person who is enrolled.
