Memory-Screening Clinics in Kewaunee County

The dementia care specialist with the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) of the Lakeshore will be holding free memory-screening clinics. 

Dementia is currently the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, with Alzheimer’s being the most common cause of dementia among older adults. This disease is often difficult to understand and can be sensitive to discuss.

A memory screen is a wellness tool used to help identify possible changes in memory and cognition, whether they are reversible or irreversible dementia symptoms. The screen is not diagnostic, but it can direct individuals to additional resources.

Screenings will be held at the Algoma Public Library on Feb. 16, 12:30-3:30 pm, and at the ADRC of the Lakeshore on Feb. 23, 9 am – 12 pm.

Call 877.416.7083 to register, and speak to the dementia care specialist if the listed dates are not convenient.
