Dementia is a broader term. It refers to cognitive decline, including memory loss and language difficulties. Memory care specialists also talk about problems with executive functions.
Mild cognitive impairment is a condition characterized by memory loss and cognitive decline greater than expected for a given age but not severe enough to be diagnosed as dementia.

Alzheimer Disease Diagnosis
Doctors usually diagnose Alzheimer’s disease based on several factors. These are history, physical, and neurological examinations. The memory center also does a cognitive assessment. The diagnostic process may also include:
- Laboratory tests
- Visualization studies
- Consultations with specialists
The neurological exam will check for problems with movement, coordination, and sensory function. The doctor will ask questions about the patient’s symptoms during the history and physical examination. Our memory care specialists will also learn about the patient’s medical history and family history of Alzheimer’s disease.
Cognitive assessments are also an important part of the diagnosis process. They may include:
