Free memory screenings offered Nov. 15

FALLBROOK – Innovative Healthcare Consultants is encouraging members of the community to be proactive about memory health by taking advantage of free, confidential memory screenings and information about successful aging on November 15.

The event is part of National Memory Screening Day (NMSD), an annual initiative that the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) holds each November during National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month. More than 2,000 sites across the country will be participating.

Innovative Healthcare Consultants will provide the memory screenings at 557 E. Alvarado St., in Fallbrook from 9 a.m. to noon. RN Care Managers from Innovative will administer the screenings, which consist of a series of questions and tasks, and take five to ten minutes. Screening results are not a diagnosis, and individuals with below-normal scores or who have concerns will be encouraged to pursue a full medical exam.

For more information and to sign up for the screening, call (760) 731-1334.
