The current challenge is how to 'help' when the person is not aware they have a problem.
Thus far the internet has yielded too general offerings.
Just trying to take advantage of early stage assessment means/experience(s) that may be available.
We fully understand the risk of flak/crap that sometimes come from such an open forum. However over the past 20 years....we have experienced the value added that is usually made available
here in TV.

Charter Research may be a good first step, as others have mentioned. I participated in a free memory screening there and they had me come back in 12 months to retake the tests to monitor for any changes.
I’ve had much more extensive testing at UF Neurology in Gainesville. Parts of both assessments were similar in the types of questions or tests. Just much more testing at UF.
At a minimum, they give you an idea of where you are currently with memory and the initial testing provides a baseline for future testing.
Good luck to you.
