"MEDIA ALERT
Claremont Place to Hold Free Memory Screenings
WHAT: Individuals can take advantage of free, confidential memory screenings
as part of National Memory Screening Day, an annual initiative of the
Alzheimer¹s Foundation of America (AFA) to promote proper detection of
memory problems.
WHEN: Tuesday, November 16th
WHERE: Claremont Place Senior Living at 120 W. San Jose Avenue in Claremont
TIME: 10:00 am 3:00 pm
COST: Free
It is open to the public and anyone interested is encouraged to attend. An

WHY: It is estimated that as many as 5.1 million Americans have Alzheimer¹s
disease. The number is escalating in line with the aging population; the
first baby boomers turn 65 in 2011. Advanced age is the greatest risk
factor, with the incidence of the disease doubling every five years between
65 and 95.
November is National Alzheimer¹s Disease Awareness Month.
This marks AFA¹s eighth annual National Memory Screening Day. Sites
nationwide are participating. Visit www.nationalmemoryscreening.org .
National Memory Screening Day serves as a starting point for discussions
about memory concerns and lifestyle changes‹diet, managing stress, physical
exercise‹that may help people age successfully.
Memory problems could be caused by Alzheimer¹s disease or other medical
conditions.
A memory screening averages five to ten minutes, and consists of questions
and tasks to assess memory.
Screening is a safe, cost-efficient intervention that can reassure the
healthy individual, promotes successful aging and, when indicated, directs
individuals to appropriate clinical resources. It does not diagnose any
illness, but can indicate whether someone should pursue a medical exam.
It is estimated that missed diagnoses of dementia may be as high as 90
percent.
The Alzheimer¹s Foundation of America is a national nonprofit organization
headquartered in New York that is focused on care for individuals with
Alzheimer¹s disease and related illnesses, and their families. Call
866-AFA-8484 or visit www.alzfdn.org .
