National Memory Screening Day is fast approaching, and part of the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America’s mission is to provide memory screening services to the community as a tool to help in the early diagnosis of the onset of Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other related illnesses.

The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America created National Memory Screening Day to help provide optimal care and services to those confronting memory loss due to vascular dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, or other conditions causing the problem.

On National Memory Screening Day there will be hundreds of memory screening sites set up nationwide, and I encourage you to locate a memory screening site near you, so you can participate and have yourself, or a loved one, screened. Early detection of Alzheimer’s disease makes it easier to provide quality care, treatment, and social services to help slow down the progression of the disease.

The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America website offers some successful aging tips which are common sense lifestyle tips that help slow or prevent the loss of brain cells, but while there is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, ensuring quality care for those who do suffer from it cannot be overlooked, and the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America needs your contribution to help make sure that those afflicted with the disease, their families, and those who provide care for them have the resources they need to improve their quality of life.
