Coast Plaza Hospital Memory Loss Program is specifically designed to evaluate potential memory disorders and provide the necessary treatment to reduce the effects and retard the progress of dementia. At the heart of this program is Dr. Aida Salatinjants’ Ten Minute Memory Test, an accurate, non-invasive procedure that checks patient’s memory using computerized measurements of their performance on a series of recall and judgment tasks. Patient’s responses are then analyzed by a computer and the results are instantly interpreted by Dr. Salatinjants.

With an accuracy rate of 97%, this test quickly and painlessly identifies mild cognitive impairment. If any memory loss is detected, Dr. Salatinjants is immediately available to diagnose and treat the underlying problem. Left untreated, mild cognitive impairment can progress to dementia and rob a person of the ability to care for him or herself.

WHO SHOULD GET TESTED?

Anyone who notices or suspects changes in memory should be checked. Since memory loss is a part of normal aging, a routine memory evaluation often allows concerned individuals to stop unnecessary worrying. Should memory loss be discovered, underlying causes will be investigated so that treatment can begin as soon as possible.

Our Ten Minute Memory Test is recommended for:

• people having memory problems affecting everyday life
• people with a family history of dementia who are becoming forgetful
• people 50 years and above on an annual basis

Most insurers, including Medicare, recognize the value of the Ten Minute Memory Test, and so should you. Test your memory and put your mind at rest today.
