Learn how Agrace can support those who are living with Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia.
When a person you love has trouble with memory and thinking, it’s hard to know how to help them. There are many types of dementia (including the well-known Alzheimer’s disease), and each person may experience the illness differently.
There is no clear path of how to care for a person whose brain function is declining, but Agrace offers several dementia-support programs that may be helpful over time.

Agrace offers palliative care consultations across southern Wisconsin. These are specialized medical appointments with a nurse practitioner that take place wherever the patient lives.
The goal is to help a person who is living with dementia—and their family—manage their physical symptoms, behaviors and stress as the disease progresses. Learn more about this service here.
Dementia often advances slowly, so it can be hard to predict when a person is ready for hospice (end-of-life) care. To be eligible to enroll, two doctors must agree on that a patient is likely in the last six months of life.
Most people with dementia have hospice care at home or in a long-term care facility, but another option is living at the Agrace Hospice Memory Care Suites. This is a secure section of our Madison campus that is designed for hospice patients with memory care needs.
