That’s great! We understand the PCP is an important partner in a patient’s care. Therefore, we work with them, not against them, to support and cover gaps related to dementia and complex care.
We act as an extension of the PCP office to complement their care. And if you don’t have a primary care physician, we’ll help you find one.
