Treatment and Rehabilitation for Alzheimer’s focuses on medications to manage cognitive decline, behavioral support, and customized therapy programs to maintain function.

The primary focus of Alzheimer’s treatment options is managing symptoms and temporarily slowing the rate of cognitive decline. These therapies work by targeting brain chemicals and processes affected by the disease. While medications do not halt the disease, they can improve communication, memory, and functional ability for a limited time, especially in the mild to moderate stages.
The neurologist determines the medication regimen based on the patient’s stage and symptoms.
For Alzheimer’s Disease, there are no surgical or invasive treatments intended to cure the disease. The concept of “minimally invasive procedures” is replaced by non-pharmacological behavioral interventions and environmental adaptation. These strategies focus on changing the patient’s surroundings and caregiver approach to manage symptoms without resorting to strong medications.
These customized interventions improve patient safety and reduce distress.

Rehabilitation and therapy for Alzheimer’s is a continuous process aimed at maintaining the patient’s remaining abilities, adapting to functional losses, and improving their interaction with the environment. This therapeutic support is vital for both the patient’s function and the caregiver’s capacity.
The goal is to maximize the patient’s safety and independence for as long as possible.
LIV Hospital is committed to integrated and specialized memory care. We utilize a Multidisciplinary Team (MDC) approach that is essential for managing the complexity of Alzheimer’s Disease. Our system ensures coordinated medical, psychological, and social support for the patient and family.
Our integrated approach ensures the optimal care plan, reducing stress on family members who often struggle to coordinate multiple specialists.
Monitoring protocols are highly personalized and intensive, requiring frequent follow-up appointments. Regular monitoring is essential to track the rate of cognitive decline, assess medication effectiveness, and anticipate new behavioral or functional needs.
Monitoring also critically includes assessing the overall health and stress levels of the primary caregiver.

Recovery in neurology relies on a biological miracle called Neuroplasticity. This is the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections. If one part of the brain is damaged, rehabilitation helps healthy parts of the brain take over those functions.
Alzheimer’s Disease is a progressive, irreversible condition, meaning there is no recovery in the traditional sense of regaining lost function. Expectations are focused on symptom stability and maximizing the years spent in a high-quality functional state.
Success is measured by the patient’s quality of life and the ability to maintain functional independence for as long as possible.
Effective management of Alzheimer’s Disease is impossible without a well-coordinated team. The neurologist or geriatrician leads the process, relying on specialists to handle the broad range of complications.
Treatment options include disease-modifying medications (Cholinesterase Inhibitors, Memantine), non-pharmacological behavioral management, and specialized therapies like cognitive and physical rehabilitation (cognitive rehabilitation).
Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease, so treatment and rehabilitation are continuous and lifelong. The goal is to maximize the number of functional years and improve the patient’s quality of life.
No, there are currently no surgical interventions or minimally invasive procedures that cure or treat Alzheimer’s disease itself. Surgery may be needed only to treat other unrelated conditions, like a fall injury.
Medications include cholinesterase inhibitors and memantine, which temporarily manage cognitive symptoms. Other medications are used to treat associated symptoms like depression, anxiety, and severe agitation.
There is no recovery; the expectation is stability or a slower rate of decline. You can expect better symptom control, improved safety through environmental changes, and specialized support for both the patient and the family.
At Liv Hospital, we offer top-notch healthcare for international patients. We use Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to spot Alzheimer’s disease. It shows changes in the
