Cognitive Assessments (In-person)

2023-05-27T18:35:27-04:00

What is the Study about?

We are examining the use of a new program to increase the rate of cognitive assessments in the community. We hope that this program can help people receive memory assessments and care sooner.

What is involved and how long does it take?

A cognitive assessment and brief history (60 min), with two follow up appointments to set up next steps, if you need clinical care or additional supports.

An eye scan* at a local optometry clinic. There is a 20 minute wait time for eye drops before the scan (about 15 min)

*The eye scan is optional for those who enter the study at the Alzheimer Society of Toronto. Compensation will be provided for optional procedures.*

Please note that that registering here does not guarantee you an appointment. Providing your information here will indicate your interest in this study. Our Project Coordinator (Sangeeta Semwal) will contact you with more information.
