Navigating an Alzheimer’s diagnosis often brings a host of questions, not only about treatments but also about long-term care and the impact on daily life. At Synapticure, our virtual care platform combines the expertise of neurologists, specialized care navigators, and a team deeply informed on the latest treatments and trials.

We know that Alzheimer’s doesn’t just affect patients—it impacts families and caregivers, too. That’s why we offer personalized care plans designed to ease the burden on caregivers, help you understand every available option, and support you every step of the way.

  • How often should I connect with my care team for updates on my condition?

  • Are there specific symptoms or changes I should prepare for as the disease progresses?
