Alzheimer's Disease
At Advanced Wellness Infusion Centers, we offer personalized, evidence-based infusion treatments to support patients living with Alzheimer's Disease. Our experienced team is here to provide care that is safe, compassionate and focused on improving quality of life every step of the way.
What is Alzheimer's Disease?
Alzheimer’s disease is a condition that affects the brain and slowly causes changes in memory, thinking, and behavior. Over time, it can make daily tasks more difficult, but with the right care and support, many people continue to live meaningful and connected lives. While there’s no cure yet, new treatments and therapies can help manage symptoms, support brain health, and improve quality of life—especially when started early.
How is Alzheimer's Disease Managed Through Infusion Therapy?
Infusion therapy is one way to help slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease by delivering medication directly into the bloodstream for faster, more targeted treatment. Two medications commonly used for this are Leqembi and Kisunla. These FDA-approved treatments are designed to target and help clear a protein in the brain called amyloid, which is believed to contribute to memory loss and other symptoms of Alzheimer’s.
Our Therapies for Alzheimer's Disease
What to Expect at my Alzheimer's Infusion
Alzheimer's infusions at Advanced Wellness use a very thin catheter to connect an IV line to one of the patient's veins to infuse the medication. All of our locations have a Nurse Practitioner on site and the patient is monitored continuously throughout treatment for any adverse reactions. Patients can expect the infusion to last anywhere from an hour to two hours. After the IV treatment is complete, the patient is disconnected from the IV by a nurse. During initial treatments, the patient is asked to stay on site for a short time post-treatment for observation.
In each infusion suite, Advanced Wellness provides snacks and beverages as well as streaming devices for comfort throughout the infusion appointment.
