Screening, assessment, and treatment are delivered with validated results. Isaac Health is a virtual specialist medical group focused on serving people with brain health conditions, such as dementia. From diagnosis to treatment and symptom management, we’re here for you.

Support Around the Clock ESLC is dedicated to being there whenever you need us. Through GUIDE, you and your family will have access to compassionate, dementia-trained specialists and support staff 24/7, ensuring expert guidance and assistance when you need it most.

Care Navigation: A care navigator will serve as your personal guide throughout the entire journey, providing regular check-ins with you and your loved ones. They will also connect you with community support organizations and resources tailored to your desires and needs.

Medical Support: Our team of specialized doctors and nurse practitioners will conduct a thorough clinical assessment upon your enrollment in the GUIDE program and bi-annually thereafter. They will also be available at other times for urgent medical issues.

Caregiver Support: Through GUIDE we offer comprehensive caregiver training sessions to empower and educate families who are involved in the care of their loved one with dementia. Our specialized caregiver coaches deliver one-on-one sessions, caregiver support groups and group activities designed to foster connection and mutual support among participants.

Respite Care: Working with professional licensed home care agencies our short term respite program gives caregivers a chance to step away from the responsibilities of caring for their loved one while offering peace of mind that your loved one is being supported by a trusted professional. From providing companionship to assistance with personal care our dementia capable respite care services team has met the rigorous standards of the State of New York.

Testimonial

Robinlee has been a caregiver for both her mother and father since 2022 when her mother was first diagnosed with cancer. In early 2024, after her mother’s passing, Robinlee began to notice that her father was showing signs of cognitive loss, physical mobility issues, and confusion. “I put everything in my life on hold to attend to my father’s needs. I needed to make sure that he was eating properly and taking his medications, which meant that I had to drive to his home after work every day to tend to him. I barely saw my husband and the rest of my family during these times, and I found myself questioning whether I was doing enough for my dad.

The responsibility of caregiving fell entirely on me, and I was physically drained and unhealthy. At the time, I wished there was a respite program available to help with his care, especially one that didn’t come with a cost. This would have alleviated some of my stress.

Eventually, I found Episcopal SeniorLife Communities and their care navigation team, who provided invaluable guidance and support. They reassured me that everything would be okay and gave me step-by-step instructions on how to ensure my father received the care he needed. Our care navigator was truly a godsend. I’m so glad to hear that the GUIDE program is going to be available to more families like mine.”
