Getting the Most Out of Doctor’s Visits: Four Essential Tips / Alzheimer’s and Other Dementias

The Caregiver's Journey
Dela

Do you leave your loved one’s doctor’s appointments feeling intimidated or confused instead of empowered? Do you wish you had a clearer role in shaping their care? Many caregivers feel this way, and there is a better way to approach these visits.


We are Sue Ryan and Nancy Treaster. As caregivers for our loved ones with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia, we know how much rides on every doctor’s visit and how easy it is to walk out feeling unheard. We’re sharing insights about how to rethink your role at medical appointments from Dr. Paul Nussbaum, a clinical neuropsychologist licensed in Florida and Pennsylvania and founder of the Brain Health Center. Dr. Nussbaum has spent decades caring for people living with dementia and their families. He has also been a family caregiver himself, so he understands both sides of the table.
