National Memory Screening Day serves as a starting point for discussions about memory concerns and lifestyle changes such as diet, managing stress, physical and mental exercise—that may help people age successfully. These types of proactive measures are also a way to have an informative baseline for yourself as you go through the aging process.
With these initiatives, our goals are to:
- Provide free, confidential memory screenings to those with memory concerns or who want to check their memory
- Eliminate the stigma and fears associated with dementia
- Encourage those with memory problems to follow up with an exam by a physician or other qualified healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis, treatment, social services and community resources
- Educate the public about Alzheimer’s disease and successful aging
- Alleviate the fears of those who do not have a problem
Private screenings take about 5-10 minutes and light refreshments will be served. Call 978-471-5161 to make a free appointment now.
