Memory Screenings
Three Pillars is proud to be part of the Alzheimer's Foundation of America’s Memory Screening Program. A memory screening is a simple and safe evaluation tool that checks memory and other thinking skills. It can indicate whether an additional check-up by a qualified healthcare professional is needed. The face-to-face screening takes place in a private setting; only the individual being tested, and the screener are present. A screening consists of a series of questions and/or tasks designed to test memory, language skills, thinking ability, and other intellectual functions. The person who administers the screening will review the results with the person being screened and suggest whether the person should follow up with a physician or other clinician for more extensive testing.
Results of the memory screenings are confidential. The participant will receive the screening results to bring to a healthcare professional for follow-up and/or inclusion in medical files. To set up an appointment please contact Jen Graf, Senior Director of Cognitive Health, at 262-965-7133 or jgraf@threepillars.org.
