Nurturing Mind and Spirit
As we grow older, changes in memory can sometimes feel like life is throwing us a curveball. For seniors and their families, these changes may bring questions, worries, or moments of uncertainty. That’s where our Memory Assessment can help. It’s more than just an assessment it’s a way to understand what’s happening and take thoughtful steps toward maintaining mental clarity, emotional balance, and overall well-being.
At The Straits Geriatric Centre, we take the time to listen, to understand, and to provide the dedicated care needed to address these sensitive concerns. Think of it as sitting down for a meaningful conversation that brings clarity and direction to a challenging situation.
Understanding Memory Assessments
Memory and mood shape how we experience life. A Memory Assessment helps uncover early signs of memory loss, depression, or anxiety in a safe, supportive space. It’s designed to identify concerns like dementia or mood shifts and provide timely, compassionate care for seniors and their families.
How the Memory Assessment Works:
Health and Lifestyle Review We start with a heartfelt conversation, learning about medical history, daily habits, and any changes in mood or memory. It’s a gentle way to uncover what’s going on.
Cognitive Assessment Through simple, engaging activities, we take a closer look at memory, attention, and decision-making. This helps us see where a little extra support might be needed.
Mood Evaluation We talk about energy levels, interests, and how life feels day-to-day. It’s a caring approach to spotting signs of anxiety or depression.
Family and Caregiver Insights Families often notice things others might not. Your input helps us create a fuller picture and provide the best care for your loved one.
Personalised Care Plan Everyone is unique, and so is their care plan. Whether it’s small lifestyle changes, counselling, or a specialist referral, our recommendations are tailored to what matters most.
Ongoing Monitoring Life changes, and we’re here to adapt with you. Regular follow-ups ensure the plan continues to meet your loved one’s needs, every step of the way.
