Free Memory Screenings in Salem, OR, at ComForCare

ComForCare of Salem OR is an approved Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) memory screening site.

When you notice small changes in a parent or loved one, such as a forgotten name, a missed appointment, or the same story told twice, it’s natural to wonder what it means. You don’t have to sit with that worry alone. At ComForCare of Salem, OR, we offer free memory screenings as an approved Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) site, giving families a simple, private way to take a first step toward answers.

What Our Memory Screenings in Salem, OR, Involve

A memory screening is a short, straightforward check-in, not a diagnosis, and nothing to be nervous about. As an AFA-approved memory screening site, we follow a trusted process designed to be quick and respectful of your loved one’s time and dignity. The whole thing takes about 10 minutes, and it’s completely free.

Here’s what makes the experience easy for families:

• It’s brief: around 10 minutes from start to finish.
• It’s free: there’s no cost and no obligation to move forward with anything after.
• It’s private: your information is handled with care, and screenings are done with your consent.
• It’s simple: no preparation is needed on your part.

For many families, the hardest part is deciding to ask the question at all. Once that’s done, the screening itself is calm, supportive, and person-centered.

Why Early Awareness Matters for Your Loved One

Early awareness of Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia is one of the most meaningful steps a family can take. Knowing sooner rather than later can genuinely improve quality of life, not only for the individual, but for the family members and caregivers who love and support them.

It’s also worth remembering something important: not all memory problems are caused by Alzheimer’s, and some memory problems can even be treated. A screening helps you understand where things stand so you can make informed, thoughtful decisions instead of guessing.

If your loved one has a family history of Alzheimer’s disease or a related illness, a memory screening is a wise and proactive choice. And if you find you need more support down the road, whether that’s a few hours a week or around-the-clock care, our home care team is here and happy to help.

An AFA-Approved Memory Screening Site You Can Trust

Not every memory screening site carries the same standing, and that’s exactly why our AFA approval matters. It means our screenings follow a recognized, consistent process that families and caregivers can rely on, a real difference when you’re trying to make sense of something as important as a loved one’s memory.

Trust is at the heart of this. When you come to us, you’re not being processed through a system; you’re being guided by a team that understands how personal aging and memory concerns can be. We treat every conversation with privacy, patience, and genuine care, because the person sitting across from us is someone’s parent, spouse, or grandparent.
