The Mesquite Caregivers Support Group

This Thursday the topic will be on Memory Testing and conditions that cause symptoms of dementia, but are reversible.  LuAnn Lundquist will be doing the presentation.

She  will provide the SAGE test which is a self administered type paper and pencil test for assessing memory and cognitive challenges.  The object of this presentation will be to provide a means of doing a private (or at the group)test to have the experience of what that test is and does.  It can also provide a baseline score that they can give to their doctor or keep for their files.

The conditions that cause symptoms of dementia are important because they can usually be picked up by a blood test or by the doctor (unlike real dementia) and they can be treated and often reversed.

This will be a good class for the community know about.  It is of interest to all seniors.  They do not have to be a caregiver to attend. Please let your friends know.
