• Memory screenings are administered by qualified professionals.
• Memory screenings consist of a series of questions and tasks designed to gauge memory, language skills and other intellectual functions.  They take approximately 10 minutes, making it easy and convenient for individuals to be screened.
• A memory screening is not used to diagnose any particular illness and does not replace consultation with a physician; however, it is an important first step toward finding out if an individual may have a memory problem.  Individuals who score below the normal threshold, or who still have concerns about their memory problem, are advised to follow up with their physician for a thorough evaluation.
• Early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or other conditions which can cause memory loss enable individuals to obtain treatment and services and make legal and financial decisions that can improve quality of life.
• The program is open to anyone, whether there is a memory concern, risk for dementia, or they just want to see how their memory is now as a baseline for future comparisons. There are no age or insurance requirements to get screened.
