Free Brief Memory Screen
What is a memory screen?
A memory screening consists of a short test (roughly 10 minutes) which looks at your thinking and memory abilities. Results from the screen allow Sanders-Brown staff to suggest appropriate next steps and a follow-up if needed.
Why should I have my memory screened?
If you feel like you are having trouble with your memory and thinking at any age, or if you have a family history of dementia or Alzheimer's disease, a memory screen is a great starting point for evaluation and a means of being proactive. The results can be shared with your primary care physician.
Screenings are open to anyone over the age of 60 and are completely free of charge as part of our ongoing commitment to community health and well-being as we age.
Memory screens are held regularly at the Sanders Brown Center on Aging Clinic, 2199 Harrodsburg Rd in the Turfland Plaza, Lexington. They are also often provided locally in your community as part of our community outreach activities.
