Description

TYPICAL AGING OR SOMETHING ELSE?? Early Detection is important A brain-check up is a wellness tool that helps identify possible changes in cognition. This is not a diagnostic test, rather, a tool that gives a baseline of where you are now and allows for conversation and planning if something is detected. Just like blood pressure, cancer, or diabetes screenings, brain checks can help you identify early; both irreversible dementias and other reversible causes of dementia-like symptoms. Resources & support are available. The Aging & Disability Resource Center of La Crosse County will hold monthly screening dates at various locations throughout the county. Brain checks are for people who are concerned about their cognition or concerned about symptoms they are experiencing. Brain Checks are not intended for people currently under medical care related to their memory loss/diagnosis. This event is part of Dementia Friendly Week which serves to create dementia awareness, unite individuals, organizations and the community with events, resources, and information on how we can take action to improve the lives of those living with dementia. All events are open to the public; unless otherwise indicated for persons with dementia & their caregivers. Please Join Us! Hosted by the La Crosse County Dementia Coalition collaborative partnership of various agencies and professionals committed to improving the lives of people living with dementia in La Crosse County and their family and friends who care give for them.
