Memory Clinic

The memory clinic services are obtained with a doctor's referral. The referral can be drawn up by a physician at your health centre, a hospital physician or a private physician. Contact your local health centre if you are worried about your or your loved one's short-term memory and functional capacity.

When you come to the Memory Clinic, we hope that someone close to you who knows your life situation will accompany you. At the Memory Clinic, a memory nurse and a geriatrician or a physician familiar with memory disorders perform more extensive examinations, which may also involve imaging or laboratory examinations.

The aim is to detect and identify the memory disorder as early as possible and slow down the progress of the disease. In addition, our goal is to maintain your functional capacity through pharmacotherapy and rehabilitative measures so that you can live safely at home for as long as possible.

After the examinations and diagnosis at the Memory Clinic, the Senior Info client manager specialised in memory disorders and a physician at your health station will monitor your situation. If you are a home care client, home care nurses and attending physicians are responsible for the monitoring.

Appointments at the Memory Clinic are subject to an appointment-specific client fee that is taken into consideration in the annual payment ceiling. The initial appointment with a nurse and assessment appointment are free of charge.
