Clients Unsure Of Their Cognitive Capabilities?
Here’s How They Can Test It!
Currently, there are 5.4 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s, and 1 in 7 older adults is living with some form of dementia or cognitive impairment in general.
Cognitive skills are the core skills our brains use to think, read, learn, remember, reason, and pay attention. Working together, they take incoming information and move it into the bank of knowledge used every day at school, work and in life.
Cognitive impairment can be caused by aging, illness, emotional stress, depression, medications, or other unknown factors. Dementia is a gradual deterioration of intellectual faculties and memory, usually due to an organic disorder of the brain. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia and causes progressive destruction of brain cells which leads to increasingly severe declines in memory, thinking, and reasoning.
CareOptions provides an important Cognitive Assessment as a preliminary step in identifying any signs of cognitive impairments like those in dementia and Alzheimer’s.
If your clients have concerns about themselves, a family member or friend, recommend they log in to www.CareOptions.net with their Member Passcode to take the early detection Cognitive Asssessment. If concerns are well-founded, the test results will advise them to contact a medical professional for a review. Early detection is vital in getting proper treatment and care.
