The Kenosha County ADRC's Dementia Specialist offers Memory Screens throughout the week, not just on Mondays! Memory screens can provide relief for individuals concerned about normal memory loss, lead to diagnosis of treatable conditions and offer the ability to make lifestyle changes early when they have the greatest potential for positive effect and the opportunity to participate in making future decisions. Screening results are not a diagnosis, and individuals who have concerns are encouraged to pursue a full medical exam. We recommend making an appointment, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. Call the ADRC 262-605-6646.
