Council on Aging Holding Memory Screening
April 8, 2010 by
The Marion County Council on Aging is sponsoring a Memory Screen Day on Tuesday, April 13, 2010. Council on Aging staff will be administering the MMSE (mini mental status exam), which is frequently used as a dementia screening instrument.
The MMSE is a 30 item screening tool, and is not used solely as a diagnosis for dementia. It can, however, give an indication of early problems. Studies have shown that the early diagnosis of dementia makes treatment much more effective.
