Evaluations for Dementia & Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions in Providence, RI
Understanding Changes that Affect Daily Life
When memory, communication, or daily functioning begin to change in more noticeable ways, it can feel overwhelming—for the person experiencing the symptoms and for the people who love them. Dementia is a broad term describing a decline in memory and thinking abilities that impacts everyday independence.
Dementia can look different from person to person, and many changes in memory or thinking have causes that are treatable or unrelated to a progressive disease. Many medical, emotional, and neurologic factors can mimic or contribute to symptoms. At BrainWise, our role is to help you understand what’s happening with clarity, compassion, and a plan for what comes next.

Family members often notice subtle changes at first, including:
Memory lapses that disrupt daily life

Challenges with planning or problem-solving
