Dr Liz, a geriatrician, specializes in challenging cases, unrelieved pain, too many medications, too many doctors, agitation or lethargy from the wrong meds. She has cared for people with dementia who have been evicted from communities…denied admission to assisted living…sedated from too many medications…suffering from unrelieved pain…seeing multiple doctors, but failing to find one that cares for the whole person, losing their ability to engage and actually enjoy their days. Dr Liz reviews the whole person. She talks with the elder, the family, the caregivers, nurses and other doctors. As a result, she minimizes medication, relieves pain, calms agitation without sedation and works to restore function — walking, talking, engagement and joy. Click here for details.

Managing the care of a partner or relative with dementia may be one of life’s most difficult challenges. It can’t be done—not for long, anyway—under exhaustion, isolation, personal anxiety, and professional chaos. As a result, caregivers often get so burned out that their physical and emotional health suffers. A geriatrician can help balance the competing demands of the patient, family, and caregiver.With dementia care consulting, setbacks can have positive outcomes, and life can continue to bring love, joy, and fulfillment.
