FREE Memory Screenings

The Center 4 Brain Health Programs are currently suspended due to Covid-19.

A memory screening  is a simple and safe “healthy brain check-up” that tests memory and other thinking skills. The memory screening is a series of questions and/or tasks that takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and can indicate if someone might benefit from a comprehensive medical evaluation.

Screenings are also appropriate for individuals who want to see how their memory currently is and to gain a baseline measurement of their performance. It is not used to diagnose any particular illness and does not replace consultation with a physician or other clinician.

Our Center is registered as a Community Awareness-Raising and Education Site (C.A.R.E.S.) with the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America. The purpose of community memory screenings is to offer FREE memory screenings to individuals that are concerned about their memory or cognition or individuals seeking ways to be proactive about their brain health through a healthy brain check-up.

Aspects of mild memory changes or forgetfulness are normal aspects of aging but when changes in memory or forgetfulness impact an individual’s daily routine more serious health issues might be present.   

Would you benefit from a memory screening?

The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America recommends that individuals who respond “yes” to any of the following questions could benefit from a memory screening:

• Am I becoming more forgetful?
• Do I have trouble concentrating?
• Do I have difficulty performing familiar tasks?
• Do I have trouble recalling words or names in conversation?
• Do I sometimes forget where I am or where I am going?
• Have family or friends told me that I am repeating questions or saying the same thing over and over again?
• Am I misplacing things more often?
• Have I become lost when walking or driving?
• Have my family or friends noticed changes in my mood, behavior, personality, or desire to do things?

Anyone with concerns about their memory can utilize the services of our memory-screening center throughout the year. 

We offer memory screenings on the first and third Wednesday of each month. 

Appointments are required.
