WHY ARE MEMORY SCREENINGS IMPORTANT?
Did you know that Memory Screenings are the first step toward finding out if a person may have a memory problem. Memory problems could be caused by Alzheimer’s or other medical conditions and some are reversible. A screening is also a great time to use the screening results as a baseline to your medical records
While a memory screening is not used to diagnose any particular illness and does not replace consultation with a qualified physician or other health care professional, it is very helpful. A screening can check a person’s memory and other thinking skills. A screening can indicate if someone might benefit from a more complete medical visit.
GEM will also provide print information on the next steps and connections to services and supports.
