Memory Screenings: Get Answers

Memory screenings from the Seniors At Home team are confidential, one-on-one sessions with a trained professional intended for those concerned about signs of memory loss. Each session includes short activities and a conversation. A screening will not generate a diagnosis — however, it can provide reassurance, a thoughtful conversation, and/or direct you to the next steps. 

Why screen now? It’s never too early (or too late) to make lifestyle changes that can affect your overall health. In addition, your screening will establish a baseline for future comparisons. 

Registration is required.
