Memory Test (Dementia)Training (Online) | Act4Health

Is Your Care Centre or Nursing Home Detecting Cognitive Decline Early Enough?

Cognitive decline and dementia are among the most common — and most overlooked — conditions in older adults in care settings. Without a structured memory assessment process, residents may deteriorate undetected, leading to behavioral incidents, family complaints, and costly emergency transfers.

This online training by ACT4Health (University of Malaya spin-off) equips you and your care team with validated cognitive assessment tools to detect memory problems early — enabling timely intervention, better care planning, and stronger resident outcomes.
