Is It Dementia?

How do you know when it is time to ask for an evaluation, and how do you get one for someone who does not want to go?

Dr. Benjamin Mast takes on those questions in this breakout from our Alzheimer's and Dementia seminar, recorded February 21, 2026 at McGregor Baptist Church. He helps families think carefully about when cognitive changes move beyond normal aging, the warning signs that should not be ignored, and how to navigate a difficult conversation with a reluctant spouse or parent. He covers what a screening visit actually looks like, what further testing may involve, and addresses the middle-aged adult who lives in quiet fear of dementia after watching a parent decline.

This session is for the person who has been wondering, and for the family member trying to help a loved one take the next step.
