The Walworth County Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) will offer a free Memory Screening event on Friday, August 19th from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Memory Screens are not a diagnostic tool but can show if cognitive impairment is apparent or not.
“Tracking our cognition levels needs to be as normal as checking our blood pressure,” says Dementia Care Specialist Jake Sawyers. “It is recommended that once adults turn 60 they should have a memory screen conducted every four to six months. Not only does this give you a baseline, but helps you better understand if there are truly changes occurring.”
The Memory Screening Event will be held at the Walworth County Health and Human Services building, 1910 County Road NN, Elkhorn. RSVPs are required by calling (262) 741-3273.
