Dementia
Evaluation
When a loved one begins to show signs of memory loss, it can be difficult to know whether it is a normal part of aging or a sign of something more serious, like dementia. At Boise Neuropsychology, Dr. Jorgensen provides private dementia testing and treatment planning to give you clarity and guide your next steps.
Our comprehensive dementia evaluations are designed for individuals aged 65 and older. We offer a thorough and compassionate approach to assessment, empowering you with the knowledge and support to manage the condition proactively.

Review of Medical Records: With your permission, we will review all available medical records before your first appointment.
Initial Clinical Interview: A 120-minute interview to gather a detailed history and understand your concerns.
Neuropsychological Testing: A six-hour battery of tests to assess cognitive functioning, including memory, attention, and problem-solving skills.
