Memory Screening at the Watermark at East Hill

2009-11-17T18:00:00Z

The Watermark at East Hill will host National Memory Screening Day on Tuesday, November 17 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the second floor Commons. This collaborative effort, spearheaded by the Alzheimer's Foundation of America, aims to promote early detection of Alzheimer's disease and related illnesses, and to encourage appropriate intervention. The face-to-face screening is fast and easy and will take 15 minutes or less. Proper diagnosis is critical since some conditions that affect memory, such as thyroid problems, are reversible. For irreversible illnesses, proper diagnosis enables individuals to obtain medical treatments and social services that they need, as well as have input into legal and financial decisions regarding treatment that can improve their quality of life. This event is free and open to the public.
