Memory & dementia evaluation

An assessment to distinguish normal age-related memory changes from early dementia or other cognitive conditions.

Common symptoms

  • Increasing forgetfulness affecting daily life
  • Difficulty with familiar tasks
  • Confusion about time or place
  • Family noticing personality or judgment changes

What it involves

Cognitive testing, blood tests to rule out reversible causes, and sometimes brain imaging.

What to expect

Early evaluation matters — some causes of memory loss are treatable, and even progressive conditions benefit from early planning.
