Schaumburg offers free memory screenings on Sept. 21

Schaumburg is offering free, confidential memory screenings on Monday, Sept. 21, to residents. The screenings are part of Community Memory Screenings, an initiative of the Alzheimer's Foundation of America designed to promote proper detection of memory problems and provide education about successful aging.

Screenings can be scheduled between the hours of 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. and will be performed at the Nursing Division building located at 521 E. Schaumburg Road. The face-to-face, noninvasive screening takes about 30 to 45 minutes and consists of a series of questions and tasks. It is administered by one of the registered nurses at the village of Schaumburg and the results are confidential.

To register for a screening, call the Schaumburg Public Health & Nursing Division at (847) 923-3766.
