Free Memory Screenings at Paradise Center

January 27, 2021 – Longboat Key

Have you noticed an increase in your forgetfulness? Memory difficulties such as forgetting recent events or the content of recent conversations are not part of normal aging and may represent the early signs of a disease. Why worry about what these changes could mean when you can take a quick screening test, at no cost? 

The Roskamp Institute is making complimentary memory screenings available to adults age 55 and older at The Paradise Center. The process involves completing a questionnaire, followed by a short test of your memory conducted in person. The test results are immediate and advise you on whether further evaluation is recommended. Memory screening is an effective method to provide reassurance for those without serious memory changes, as well as a key tool for detecting the early stages of a dementia.

FREE Memory Screenings at The Paradise Center are limited to four people per month and take place 12-2pm on the 2^nd Wednesday of each month. Book your screening in advance by calling 941-383-6493.
