Aging In The Willamette Valley

This week, Angela Plowhead, Geropsychologist from Capacity Solutions, answers the question, “Where do you go after your family doctor says, ‘It's some kind of dementia’?” It’s frightening to have a doctor tell you that your loved one may have dementia. Can that diagnosis be right? It’s easy to feel lost or desperate, and you’ll probably want a second opinion before doing anything else. Our guest this week is Dr. Angela Plowhead, a Geropsychologist who can help you determine the correct diagnosis via cognitive and decision-making assessments. She visits individual homes and considers all factors that might be contributing to the issue. Then, she provides recommendations to help manage the situation. Don't miss this show!
