Memory Concerns

A Confidential Memory Screening Program

 

Please contact our office for available appointments. Each screening takes about 20 minutes.

  • Do you or a loved one have concerns about your memory?
  • Would you like to know if your concerns are beyond what’s reasonable for your age?
  • Are you worried that you are at risk for dementia?

Schedule a no-cost confidential* screening completed by Neuropsychologists right here at Senior Concerns.

*This will not provide a diagnosis, but will help provide you information and let you know if further testing is recommended.

A confidential memory screening is provided in a private and supportive setting, ensuring you feel comfortable and safe.

Here are some of the benefits of this type of memory screening:

Detect Cognitive Issues Early

A confidential memory screening can help detect early signs of memory decline, cognitive impairment, or dementia. The earlier these issues are identified, the more options there are for managing and addressing them before they progress further. If any memory issues are detected, you will be provided a list of referrals for further testing.

Establish a Baseline for Cognitive Health

A memory screening helps establish a baseline for your cognitive health. This can be useful for tracking future changes or declines in memory, which might indicate the need for further assessments or medical attention down the road.

Reduce Stigma Around Memory Concerns

Having the memory screening done outside of a medical office can help normalize the process for people who may be hesitant to address memory concerns. It encourages the person to take an active role in their health and memory.

Privacy and Confidentiality

Holding a free memory screening in your community ensures that it remains confidential (by being discreet about the results and maintaining privacy). This allows every person to feel that their health concerns are being taken seriously and respectfully.

Improve Access to Resources

If the screening reveals potential memory concerns, it can connect the person to valuable resources, referrals as well as tips for everyday health. This step is crucial in starting the journey toward care, support, and potential diagnosis.
