The Norton Neuroscience Institute Memory Center is dedicated to the evaluation of and care for patients with symptoms of memory loss, which can include trouble learning new things, concentrating or making decisions that affect their everyday life.
Almost 40% of adults will experience some form of memory loss after age 65. This is a normal part of aging. For most of us, memory loss and forgetfulness will be mild enough that it won’t disrupt our day-to-day lives. Some people may develop dementia or other brain disorders that affect memory. The World Health Organization estimates that 5% to 8% of us will live with dementia at some point after age 60.
Norton Neuroscience Institute is a leading program in the region for memory disorders care.
With the largest team of board-certified and fellowship-trained specialists in the Louisville and Southern Indiana region, the Memory Center works with patients and their loved ones to navigate memory loss, integrating research and education at every level. We take a team approach to neurologic care, with physicians, advanced practice providers and nurses working together.
Our team provides evaluation, diagnosis and treatment options for all memory issues, dementia and other brain disorders, including:
You will have a two-hour initial consultation with a provider to review your personal history. The provider will conduct a brief cognitive assessment to rule out an underlying memory disorder. Lab work will be ordered if you have not had blood work within the past year.
Four weeks after your initial visit, you will have a one-hour follow-up with a provider to discuss a tailored treatment plan based on your individual risk factors.
We are committed to supporting a healthy aging community through clinical care and patient resources.
Hear from our memory care providers about how to create a healthy lifestyle, the differences between dementia and memory loss, and recent research about brain health.
