cognitive screening

Cognitive screening is a quick assessment used to evaluate how well someone’s brain is functioning, focusing on areas like memory, attention, language, and problem-solving. It helps identify early signs of cognitive issues or dementia, allowing for timely diagnosis and planning. The process typically involves simple questions or tasks, which can be completed in a brief visit. While it doesn't provide a full diagnosis, it offers important clues about cognitive health and whether further, more detailed testing is necessary. Overall, it’s a useful tool for catching potential problems early and supporting appropriate care.
