More than five million people in the U.S. alone are now
living with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a progressive -- and
often devastating -- deterioration of one’s intellectual
functions.
Also known as senile dementia, AD is not a part of normal
aging. Patients typically experience a steady decline in
memory, thinking, and behavior, which can worsen to the extent
that they can no longer safely function independently.
Duke has been at the forefront of Alzheimer’s disease
research and care for several decades, and we provide a number
of specialized clinical services and support resources to
patients and their families.
Our team provides the sensitive, expert care AD patients and
their families need, including sophisticated diagnostic
services, personalized drug therapies and disease management
services, and support programs for caregivers.
