Memory Concerns Sanders-Brown Center on Aging How can we help? Memory Concerns Free Memory Screening What is a memory screening? 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 should be shared with your primary care physician. Screenings are recommended to anyone over the age of 65 as a part of their annual health check-up.

Although the patient-participants are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or related memory problems and agree to participate in our research studies, it is important that they continue to receive comprehensive clinical care from their primary care physician. Patients participating in research studies will receive periodic research evaluations, depending on the specific research protocol; however, this does not substitute for regular clinical care. Our physicians are specialists and do not offer primary care, but encourage close communication with your private physicians. Our specialists will be happy to share their findings with your physician, if requested.
