What is a Memory Screen?
A memory screening is a short, simple test designed to check how well your memory and thinking skills are working. It is not a diagnosis but rather a quick way to see if there might be any concerns that need further evaluation.
Why are Memory Screens Important?
Memory screens help identify potential cognitive changes early. Detecting issues sooner allows healthcare providers to intervene earlier, which can improve outcomes, slow progression and address treatable problems before they worsen.
Who Should Consider Memory Screening?
- Anyone noticing frequent forgetfulness or difficulty with thinking skills
- Individuals aged 65 and older should consider routine screening to detect issues early
- Those with a family history of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease makes early monitoring even more important
If you answer yes to any of the following questions a memory screen may be helpful:
- Have ones mentioned you are repeating yourself?
- Are you misplacing items more frequently?
- Are you forgetting important appointments or social engagements?
- Find it difficult to tackle challenging tasks like organizing important papers?
