SAC’s Enrichment Center
Are you concerned about memory problems? If so, please take advantage of the free, confidential memory screenings scheduled at SAC’s Senior Enrichment Center on Feb. 10 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. These screenings, administered by a registered nurse or a licensed social worker, only take about 10 minutes.
Memory screening entails a short series of basic questions and exercises that help to assess the status of your short-term memory. It is an important step toward finding out if a person may have a memory problem. Memory problems can be caused by Alzheimer’s disease or other medical conditions. Test results, however, do not offer a diagnosis, but they reflect how well your short-term memory is functioning.
The results of memory screenings are confidential. However, you can share them with your provider if you wish to do so. In addition to the screenings, there will be free educational materials on memory concerns, dementia, care giving and successful aging.
Screening is free and no appointment is necessary. So, if you are interested, feel free to stop by the Senior Enrichment Center between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 10. All ages are welcome and refreshments will be provided. If you have any questions, contact Audrey or Jeannie at 763-689-6555.
