Specialist Memory Assessment and Support

Memory changes can occur for many reasons, and not all memory concerns indicate dementia. Stress, sleep problems, medication side effects, depression, vitamin deficiencies and thyroid disorders can all affect cognitive function. Our comprehensive assessment helps distinguish between these various causes to ensure you receive the right support. Many people believe that nothing can be done to slow the process of memory loss and dementia, but quick access to new medications, if appropriate, can be life changing.

Overview

What to Expect

Your assessment includes detailed discussion of your memory concerns, medical history and daily functioning. We conduct cognitive testing using validated assessment tools to evaluate different aspects of memory and thinking. Physical examination and blood tests help identify potentially reversible causes of cognitive symptoms.

Where indicated, we can arrange brain imaging such as MRI or CT scanning to provide additional diagnostic information. Throughout the process, we ensure clear communication and support for both the individual and their family members.

Specialist Care

Our memory assessment is supported by specialists in elderly care medicine and psychiatry who have extensive experience in diagnosing and managing cognitive disorders. If a diagnosis of dementia or mild cognitive impairment is made, we provide comprehensive information about the condition, available treatments and support services.

Support for Families

We understand that memory concerns affect the whole family. Our team provides guidance and support not just for individuals but also for their loved ones, helping everyone understand what to expect and how to access appropriate resources.
