Older Adult Cognitive Screener™

Now available!  Patients with neurocognitive impairment (e.g., dementia) are often unreliable reporters of their own symptoms. A knowledgeable observer such as a family member, friend, or home health care nurse, can provide valuable insight into a patient's functioning. The OACS is a quick informant rating scale that helps professionals make decisions about a patient's mental status and determine the need for more in-depth testing.
