GuideStar Eldercare is improving quality of life for patients with Alzheimer’s disease using neurology-forward treatment.
Recent studies have found a pattern of improvement in rate of hospitalization, survivability, and overall quality of life for Alzheimer’s patients taking both Donepezil and Memantine in tandem.
Our latest blog post explores the impact that this drug combination is having for long-term care residents with Alzheimer’s disease and how this type of neurological treatment can be effective for a wide range of dementias and BPSD symptoms. https://loom.ly/aroZbKA

Cases of Parkinson’s disease are expected to double by 2030. But what do we really know about this common neurological condition?

On the GuideStar Eldercare blog, we provide an overview of the external and internal symptoms that make Parkinson’s disease so debilitating. We examine risk factors for Parkinson’s and explore how treatment of this disease will remain a priority for long-term care providers in the future.

Parkinson’s Awareness Month presents an opportunity to share and grow our knowledge base around this disease and to reveal how GuideStar Eldercare can help you and your staff to better ensure quality of life for patients with Parkinson’s. https://loom.ly/JZ-JuNw
