Evaluation With Our
Team of Experts
An evaluation usually involves a series of
visits over a four-week period. Lee Memory Care staff are
specialists in neurology (disorders of the brain and nervous
system). They conduct a range of tests in order to make a
precise diagnosis.
Neuropsychologist,
Tanja Mani, Ph.D.,
will
conduct a neuropsychological evaluation.
This typically involves a history of the problem, as well as -cognitive testing of areas including memory, language, and
executive functions. This exam is sensitive to the earliest
signs of memory and other cognitive deficits associated with
Alzheimer's and other dementias.
After the tests are
completed, the doctors meet with the patient and a family
member(s) for the final diagnosis and establish a treatment
plan, if necessary.
