Services Offered
Brain Health Evaluation and planning
A baseline assessment provides a snapshot of your current cognitive function before any decline or injury occurs.
This is especially helpful for:
- Individuals with a family history of Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia
- Highly intelligent individuals who want accurate long-term comparison data for more accurate and timely diagnosis and planning
- Anyone who wants proactive documentation of brain functioning and to understand what steps are necessary to maintain (or improve) brain function over the lifespan.
Having baseline data allows for more accurate interpretation of future testing. If concerns arise later in life, we can compare results to your personal baseline, not just population averages. This allows for earlier and more precise intervention if needed.
Brain Health Consultation & Coaching
Our providers work with you to identify and implement evidence-based lifestyle strategies that support brain health.
We focus on:
