After a Cognitas Health initial Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) screening, you will know one of three things:
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Further tests to determine which disease.
We offer these.
Support groups. For both caregiver and patient, support groups offer invaluable information and a sense of community.
See more about support groups here.
Lifestyle changes can slow the progression of the disease. Many people have shown marked better memory with lifestyle changes,
extending quality of life.
See our Lifestyle Program page.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Lifestyle Screenings: Even if your memory issues are within the range of “normal,” lifestyle changes often help.
See our Lifestyle Program page.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Lifestyle Screenings: As many as 80% of people with MCI can result in dementia. Now is the time to
act. Alzheimers has no cure. Right now, prevention is the best and only
alternative. Talk with us about the lifestyle changes you can make to greatly
improve your risk of NOT getting dementia.
See ourLifestyle program page.
There are many causes for dementia. How you proceed with life can greatly be influenced by the source of your “bad memory.”
For some people, lifestyle changes, such as reduction of stress or more mental stimulation, can turn around their cognitive abilities.
For others, being dianosed with a dementia disease give them, their doctors and their families information that can help guide them to a more satisfactory future.
The initial screening is given by a series of questions and takes about 45 minutes.
From there, the screenings we give can include a written test; an hour lifestyle query; blood and urine samples; and a nutritional panel.
Yes! We offer testing in your home via computer. You take our preliminary screening tests for Mild Cognitive Impairment at home, the results are sent to us, we analyze the results, and we send you an explanation of your scores. If needed we may recommend further tests, which can also be done at home.
The rest of our services can be discussed over the phone or via Zoom, including formulation of a behavioral program involving diet, exercise, sleep, meditation, intellectual stimulation, and socializing.(Click here to learn more)
Depending on the results of your screenings, you will want to consult your physician and talk to your family.

Our screenings are $200-$300. Call to discuss which one is right for you.
Since dementia can profoundly influence your life and that of any caregivers, it makes sense to know whether you are at risk for the disease.
When you take a brief cognitive assessment from a trained practitioner, such as the ones we give at Cognitas Health, it indicates whether you have some of the memory and cognative problems associated with dementia.
If the assessment determines you are at risk, you can then get further diagnosis about the possible nature of your problems. And then you can take action that may prevent or stall development of further problems. Which type of action is recommended depends on what further testing reveals.
We were able to then work with them on lifestyle options that they reported did improve his memory and stalled the progression of the disease. |
Detection of any of the factors can help identify whether a person has a likelihood of developing dementia and has reached the stage of MCI. These kinds of screening can help a person with symptoms, their family and caregivers understand how to deal with certain behaviors that are of concern, and also what may happen over the next 4-10 years.
