My parent is becoming more forgetful.
Evaluation can help clarify whether the changes are expected, whether they are affecting independence, and what kind of support may be needed.
For Adults and Aging Parents
When changes in attention, memory, or daily life need a clearer answer.
Dr. Yang helps adults, older adults, families, and physicians understand what is changing, what it means in everyday life, and what steps may help next.
Common Starting Points
You may be wondering...
People often reach out when everyday concerns become hard to explain with a brief screening or routine appointment.
My neurologist recommended testing.
Testing can give your care team a clearer picture of thinking skills, daily functioning, and changes that may not show up in a brief appointment.
I am having trouble focusing, organizing, or remembering.
Evaluation can help sort out what may be driving those struggles so recommendations match the full picture.
When evaluation may help
- You feel less sharp, focused, or organized than before
- Daily tasks, work, driving, finances, or medication routines are becoming harder
- A physician wants more information than a short visit can provide
- Your family needs help understanding what kind of support may be needed
How the evaluation works
The evaluation begins with the question you are trying to answer. Dr. Yang reviews relevant history and records, looks carefully at thinking skills and daily functioning, and explains results in clear language during feedback.
Language background, education, medical history, mood, sleep, and real-life examples are considered when interpreting results.
After Evaluation
What patients and families receive.
The goal is not just a label. It is a clearer explanation and recommendations that can support care planning.
Feedback session
Results are reviewed in plain language, with time for questions about strengths, concerns, and next steps.
Written report
The report summarizes findings and recommendations for physicians, families, treatment planning, or future comparison.
Optional planning support
Additional consultation can be added when families need extra time for care planning or questions for medical teams.
