231-622-5017 for an appointment- Qualified healthcare professionals administer the face-to-face memory screening, which lasts approximately 10 minutes and consists of a series of questions and tasks designed to gauge memory, language skills and other intellectualfunctions.
- 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, are advised to follow up with their physician for a thoroughevaluation.
- Some memory problems can be readily treated, such as those caused by vitamin deficiencies or thyroid problems. Other memory problems might result from conditions such as Alzheimer’s that currently are not reversible.
- Early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease enables individuals to obtain treatment and services and make legal and financial decisions that can improve quality oflife.
- We will also distribute educational materials on brain health and Alzheimer’s disease at the event.
