Assessment

Early identification of memory changes is essential for ensuring that individuals receive timely medical evaluation, appropriate referrals, and the support needed to maintain quality of life. Recognizing concerns early allows families to plan, access resources, and pursue interventions that may improve daily functioning and long‑term outcomes. Mainely Memory Foundation provides free Memory Screens to help community members take this important first step—offering guidance, connection to healthcare providers, and compassionate support for individuals and their care partners.

Mainely Memory Foundation is committed to empowering individuals and families through accessible, evidence‑based education. We offer free community workshops and presentations focused on memory changes, brain health, early warning signs of dementia, communication strategies, and ways to support loved ones. These sessions help community members better understand cognitive wellness, reduce stigma, and take proactive steps toward early identification and meaningful support.

Mainely Memory Foundation offers free community‑based respite programs that provide one‑to‑one support for individuals living with memory loss. Our intergenerational programs and trained volunteers give care partners a few hours to recharge, rest, or attend to personal needs—while their loved one enjoys meaningful connection, engagement, and companionship.
