A baseline cognitive assessment provides a detailed snapshot of your brain’s current functioning when you are healthy and symptom-free. This important evaluation helps create a point of comparison for future testing, making it easier to spot subtle changes or declines early on.

Early detection can lead to more effective interventions, better planning, and peace of mind. It also helps differentiate between normal age-related changes and potential signs of cognitive disorders, giving you confidence in your brain health over time.

For individuals with a family history of dementia or other risk factors, baseline assessments are a proactive step toward protecting your brain health and maintaining your quality of life.

Our comprehensive baseline assessment includes a variety of standardized tests that measure key areas of cognition, such as memory, attention, problem-solving, language, processing speed, and visual-spatial skills.

In addition to testing, we conduct a thorough interview to understand your medical history, lifestyle, and any concerns you may have. The process usually takes a few hours and may include questionnaires or input from family members to get a complete picture of your cognitive health.

Q: Who should consider a baseline cognitive assessment?
A: Anyone who wants to proactively monitor their brain health—especially those with a family history of cognitive decline, dementia, or individuals concerned about memory or thinking skills in the future.

Q: Will the assessment diagnose any conditions?
A: The baseline assessment is designed to measure your current cognitive abilities. It is not a diagnostic tool but provides important data to compare if changes occur later.

Q: Is this covered by insurance?
A: No. These evaluations are preventative in nature and completed when a person is in a healthy state. Therefore, health insurance would not view these assessments as medically necessary (a requirement for reimbursement).
