Cognitive assessments

Cognitive assessments can help clarify a diagnosis, provide a benchmark for later testing, understand a prognosis and determine the best way forward.

When an assessment helps

When there is a question of possible dementia, a cognitive evaluation can confirm or suggest other possible causes of symptoms.

When there is a question of capacity, assessments can help clarify if someone is capable of performing critical activities such as managing money, changing a will or living alone.

We provide a safe, non-judgemental environment where the person being assessed is treated with dignity, respect and kindness.

What we assess

• Attention
• Executive function, including flexibility, abstract thinking, inhibition, planning and problem-solving
• Memory
• Language
• Visuospatial abilities
• Conceptualisation

What you receive

A range of assessment and screening options are available to suit the requirements. A full report is provided that can be shared with treating physicians or kept for yourself.
