This is a process of evaluating an older adult’s mental health and cognitive functioning. This type of assessment can be used to diagnose conditions such as depression, anxiety, dementia, and other cognitive impairments. It typically involves a series of tests and interviews to evaluate an individual’s memory, language abilities, problem-solving skills, and overall mental well-being. The results of an elder psychological assessment can help healthcare professionals to develop a personalized treatment plan to address any mental health or cognitive concerns, and to help older adults maintain their independence and quality of life.
