Memory Clinic

 

Memory Clinic

 

The Grandview Memory Clinic is a free service for our patients experiencing memory concerns, those with a family history of dementia, or patients previously seen and now followed by their family physician.

 

Our Team
Grandview Medical Centre has two Memory Clinic teams, each consisting of a doctor, nurse, pharmacist, and a shared social worker. Memory clinics are held once or twice a month.

 

How to Access the Clinic
Referrals to the Memory Clinic must be made by your family physician. Patients cannot self-refer. Referrals are reviewed, and appointments are scheduled based on urgency.

 

What to Expect During Your Appointment

  • Appointments last 2–3 hours.

  • Patients must bring a family member or someone who knows them well.

  • Please bring all medications in their original packaging, as well as any glasses or hearing aids.

During the assessment, our team will:

  • Take a comprehensive medical and personal history

  • Conduct cognitive testing, including an evaluation of driving ability (note: this does not include a road test)

If a memory-related diagnosis is identified, follow-up appointments will be scheduled at the clinic.

 

Additional Information

  • No additional blood work is usually required for follow-up visits unless specifically recommended.
