While Alzheimer's Disease represents over 60% of dementia diagnoses,

While Alzheimer’s Disease represents over 60% of dementia diagnoses, there are several other forms of dementia impacting the lives of patients and their families.

​Different types include Vascular, Lewy Body, and those occurring in association with conditions such as Parkinson's and Huntington's Disease. 

Memory Assessment Clinics

​The Georgia Memory Net is a statewide program dedicated to the early diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
 
Memory Assessment Clinics are designed for persons who are experiencing memory loss or cognitive decline. The clinics complete evaluations to diagnose memory disorders and develop customized care plans for primary care physicians to continue ongoing medical care. Each clinic also provides a customized care plan to the person with dementia, as well as their care partner, along with contact information for local support and resources.
 
 There are five Memory Assessment Clinics located in Georgia:
 
Augusta: Augusta University (Medical College of Georgia)
Atlanta: Grady Health (Morehouse School of Medicine)
Macon: Navicent Health (Mercer University School of Medicine)
Columbus: Columbus Piedmont Regional (Mercer University School of Medicine)
Albany: Phoebe Putney Health (Medical College of Georgia)
 
For more information about the Memory Assessment Clinics, please contact the Northwest Georgia Aging and Disability Resource Connection at 1-800-759-2963.
