Mount Vernon Towers’ onsite personal care community, the Sandy Springs Personal Care Center (PCC), is located within the main building. This 28-bed healthcare center provides complete assisted living in a comfortable, family-like setting. As Mrs. Ann Peterson, Director of Wellness, notes: “We provide a warm nurturing environment with caring caregivers who are vigilant, and who observe and monitor the residents’ conditions and report any changes to me immediately.”
Vigilance
Living well includes taking good care of your physical and mental health – and as people age, many opt to get checked regularly for possible memory issues in addition to their annual physical examination.
Plan your next doctor’s visit
As a follow up to a memory screening or if you want to discuss other memory concerns with your physician or other healthcare professional, the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America suggests to bring a list of current medications, notes on symptoms and other issues, and a list including these questions:
- What is my diagnosis?
- What other tests should I take?
- Should I see a neurologist, geriatrician or other specialist?
- How often do I need to see you?
- What changes in condition should I report to you?
- What are the symptoms and time span of the disease?
- What are all the available treatments?
- In addition to medication, do you have recommendations regarding diet, exercise, including brain exercise, and other lifestyle changes?
- Do you have information about community resources including support groups, educational workshops and services for my family?
