How we diagnose
At the patient’s first visit, we perform a memory diagnostic evaluation to determine the cause of the memory loss and/or other symptoms. This evaluation, which can last up to two hours, utilizes the most innovative tools available, including:
- Clinical assessment
- Memory and cognitive tests
- Specialized 3T MRI with brain imaging
- Brain PET imaging
- Diagnostic blood tests
- Johns Hopkins Dementia Care Needs Assessment
What you can expect
The Center uses a comprehensive model of care called Johns Hopkins Dementia Care. Through this model, nurses and social workers provide the patient and caregivers with medical services and support that includes:
- Education on both the memory disorder and its treatment
- Management of symptoms related to memory loss
- Counseling to help cope with the diagnosis
- Planning and guidance for difficult decisions, such as power of attorney, assisted living, and day programs
Who we are
The Johns Hopkins Memory and Alzheimer’s Treatment Center is a collaborative partnership between Johns Hopkins psychiatry, neurology, and geriatric medicine. The team includes specially trained physicians, nurses, social workers, and occupational and physical therapists.
