We understand how worrying it can be to notice changes in memory, concentration, or personality, whether in yourself or someone you love. Our memory clinic is designed to provide expert assessment, diagnosis, and ongoing support for people experiencing memory loss, confusion, or cognitive decline.

Our goal is simple: to help you find answers, manage symptoms, and access the right memory care services with compassion and professionalism.

Understanding Memory Loss

Memory difficulties can arise for many reasons. Sometimes, they’re part of normal ageing, but in other cases, they may signal an underlying condition that needs attention. Our team at Ellwood Clinic evaluates the things that cause memory loss to determine what’s really happening.

Common memory loss causes include:

  • Stress, anxiety, or depression
  • Vitamin deficiencies (like B12)
  • Thyroid problems
  • Medication side effects
  • Sleep disorders
  • Neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s Disease, dementia, or Dissociative Amnesia

Our approach is holistic. We explore all potential factors before discussing any diagnosis or memory loss treatment plan.

Expert Assessment and Diagnosis

Early evaluation can make a world of difference. The memory clinic at Ellwood Clinic provides comprehensive assessments to identify or rule out underlying conditions like Alzheimer’s Disease, vascular dementia, or early-onset Alzheimer’s.

Our assessment process includes:

  • A detailed clinical consultation to review your symptoms, history, and daily challenges
  • Cognitive testing to evaluate memory, attention, and problem-solving skills
  • Blood tests and imaging (when needed) to rule out medical causes
  • Emotional and mental health evaluation to check for anxiety, depression, or Dissociative Amnesia

We ensure that every memory clinic referral is handled with care, confidentiality, and professionalism. Our specialists explain each step clearly, so you always feel informed and supported.

Recognising the Symptoms

It’s important to understand the early warning signs of memory loss and Alzheimer’s symptoms. Many people believe dementia only affects the elderly, but Alzheimer at a young age (also known as early onset Alzheimer’s) can develop in people under 65.

Here are some signs that may indicate a need for assessment:

  • Frequent forgetfulness that disrupts daily life
  • Difficulty finding words or following conversations
  • Misplacing objects or getting lost in familiar places
  • Struggling with decision-making or problem-solving
  • Changes in personality, mood, or social behaviour
  • Withdrawal from work, hobbies, or relationships

If you notice these Alzheimer’s Disease symptoms in yourself or a loved one, a visit to a Memory Care Clinic can provide clarity and peace of mind.

Personalised Memory Care and Support

At Ellwood Clinic, we know that every person’s experience with memory loss is unique. That’s why our memory care services are fully personalised.

We provide:

  • Individual treatment plans based on diagnosis and lifestyle
  • Medication management (when appropriate) to help slow disease progression
  • Lifestyle guidance including diet, exercise, and mental stimulation
  • Family education and counselling, because dementia and personal care affect everyone involved
  • Ongoing monitoring through follow-up visits and care coordination

Our memory support approach combines medical expertise with emotional care, helping you and your loved ones adapt, plan, and maintain quality of life.

Why Early Detection Matters

The earlier the condition is identified, the better the outcomes. Early intervention allows access to therapies, memory care facilities, and support networks that can slow progression and improve day-to-day functioning.

At Ellwood Clinic, we encourage anyone with persistent memory loss to seek evaluation. You don’t have to wait for symptoms to worsen, early detection empowers you to take control.
