Brain Health and Aging, followed by Memory Screens – Pinney Library

Are you concerned about your memory? Some change can be normal as we age, but significant memory loss is not a normal part of aging. Annual memory screens provide early detection of possible changes in memory and better treatments - just as blood pressure, cancer, diabetes, and stroke screenings do. It creates a baseline so future changes can be monitored. Some types of dementia are reversible, like those from nutritional and vitamin deficiencies, depression, thyroid issues, and more. At this event, a Dementia Care Specialist from the Aging & Disability Resource Center will provide a 90 minute education session about dementia vs. normal aging, followed by these free 15-minute, confidential memory screenings. *Sign up for memory screens is required.

 

What to know/bring:  A specialist from the Aging & Disability Resource Center will provide these free 15-minute, confidential memory screenings and will have information about memory, memory clinics, brain health and local resources that are available.
