Most of the time a diagnosis truly is an accurate finding based on medical evidence. However, once in a while a medical diagnosis is incorrect. It turns out that there are myriad reasons for this to happen. After all, a doctor is much like a detective trying to "catch the bad guy" based on limited data.

Detective Work: The False Alzheimer's Diagnosis
Midwest Home Care provides flexible in-home care for aging family members, as well as those suffering from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Our staff is professional and well trained, but most of all we recognize that the person we are caring for is a person and is part of someone's family. That person has a rich life history full of stories and experiences. So we work hard to help where help is needed while at the same time encouraging independence and prolonging a good quality of life.
