The philosophy of the Black Mountain Neuro-Medical Treatment Center Alzheimer’s Program is to:

1. Provide state of the art services for persons with dementia who exhibit combative-aggressive behaviors which make other living arrangements unrealistic.
2. Establish a close working relationship with families and community agencies, in an effort to seek alternative placements once the specialized services of the Alzheimer’s Program are no longer appropriate.
