Free Memory Screening on November 13,2012

 In acknowledgement of National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month, Visiting Angels will be offering free, confidential memory screenings to the public on Tuesday, November 13, National Memory Screening Day, from 10:00am – 4:00pm, by appointment only. 

National Memory Screening Day(NMSD) is an annual initiative of the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) that emphasizes the importance of proper detection and treatment of memory problems, as well as educates the public about successful aging and resources. Sites nationwide will offer screenings on NMSD. 

Visiting Angels, Montgomery County’s number one homecare agency, is offering this memory screening to anyone who is concerned about memory loss. 
The purpose of a memory screening is to get a baseline for future testing,
to determine if memory loss may be an issue, or to ease one’s worrying about
memory loss.  Results are confidential and you are given the results to share with your doctor.  

Briefly:

      AFA’s National Memory Screening Day provides free,
     confidential memory screenings to individuals concerned about memory
     problems or who want to check their memory now and for future comparisons.
     We will be holding the screenings on November 13 at :

     Visiting Angels, 971 Russell Avenue, Suite A, Gaithersburg, MD 

               from 10:00am – 4:00 pm by appointment only. 

                                  Call 301-355-6578
                  to schedule your confidential assessment.

• Registered nurses will administer the face-to-face memory screening, which takes five to ten minutes and consists of questions and/or tasks designed to test memory, language skills and other intellectual functions.

Together, we can raise awareness of Alzheimer’s disease and related illnesses,
and change the face of care from coast-to-coast.
