What is a cognitive screening?

Cognitive screenings or memory screenings, are safe and simple "check-ups" for your brain. By testing your memory and other thinking skills, these screenings can help in identifying any possible concerns you may have with your memory. With Dementia, early detection is critical for positive outcomes.
