Social Work: Comprehensive planning is a key component of our clinic.

Many individuals with symptoms of memory loss, benefit from this therapy, in addition to treatments focussing on cognition and memory.

Occupational Therapy: Expertise in assessment of daily activity function as well as the more complex abilities of driving, banking and capacity, contributes to the unique multidisciplinary approach of A.G.E. Matters.

The A.G.E. Matters clinic offers all of these resources, tailored to the individual and their support system.
