Telehealth Visits for Alzheimer’s and Memory Care

If you or a loved one is experiencing memory loss or has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, Banner Health is here to support you. Our compassionate experts provide education, resources, and care tailored for you and your family. 

In addition to in-person visits, virtual care may be a convenient option for certain needs. With telehealth, you can see your provider securely by video without leaving home. 

When to use telehealth for Alzheimer’s care 

Video visits can be helpful for: 

  • Ongoing memory assessments 
  • Consultations about treatment or care plans 
  • Follow-up appointments 
  • Prescription refills 

Telehealth for Alzheimer’s care is fast, safe and convenient  -  but it is not for emergencies. If you have an emergency, call 911 right away. 

What is telehealth? 

Telehealth is a video-enabled appointment with a health care provider. It allows you to connect with your doctor or specialist through a secure platform, no matter where you are. This option can save travel time and make it easier to manage ongoing Alzheimer’s care.

How to schedule a telehealth Alzheimer’s appointment 

Talk with your doctor about whether telehealth is right for you or your loved one. They can help you schedule a virtual appointment and guide you on when in-person care may be more appropriate. 

What you need for a telehealth visit 

For a successful video visit, you’ll need: 

  • A smartphone, laptop, computer or tablet with video and internet access 
  • A quiet, private space for the appointment

In-person memory care options 

Telehealth may be convenient, but sometimes in-person care is best. Banner Health offers memory care clinics where our specialists provide comprehensive evaluations, diagnoses and individualized treatment plans for Alzheimer’s and dementia. Your provider can help determine the right type of appointment for your needs.
