The Hinengaro Clinic offers expertise in all the phases of memory-related problems including, pre-symptomatic, assessment of risk and management, diagnosis and treatment, specialising in late-life medical problems and mental health issues.
We offer targeted programmes designed to manage risk for those who are high risk for memory problems. These programmes have been shown by international research to significantly reduce the incidence of dementia for those at such risk.
We will carry out a thorough assessment to establish what is causing the memory problems. Memory problems are not always caused by dementia. Once the causes are established we will work with you to address those causes.
Where dementia has been diagnosed prior to our involvement or by our team we will work with the patient and the patient’s family with individualised programmes designed to optimise the patient’s functioning and slow the progress of the dementia.
Issues arising following a diagnosis of dementia can be many and various. These issues can include capacity, enduring powers of attorney, driving and behavioural problems. They can include increasing need for assistance in all areas for the patient and the patient’s family.
Our team have extensive expertise in addressing complex psychiatric and medical problems in older adults. The team offers a comprehensive assessment to establish the cause of the problems followed by input from our individual clinicians to formulate a treatment plan.
