Way Treatment Center
Roseville, California
A focused, unhurried evaluation designed to clarify what is happening with memory and thinking, and what to do about it.
When memory, thinking, focus, or behavior begins to change, the right next step is a careful look at the whole picture. Dr. Van Horn’s Comprehensive Cognitive & Memory Evaluation is a private-pay service built around that kind of focused, individualized review.

What’s Included
Each evaluation is built around the patient in front of us. Dr. Van Horn goes over what to expect at the time of scheduling. Typical components include:
01 · Thorough history review
Thorough review of medical history, current medications, and patterns of daily functioning.
02 · Patient and family interviews
Unhurried clinical interviews with the patient, and with family members, with permission, when their perspective helps clarify what has been changing.
03 · In-person clinical observations
Clinical observations of the patient in person, so what we hear and what we see are taken together.
04 · An individualized written plan
An individualized written plan that explains what we found, what it may mean, and what next steps may be appropriate.
What This Evaluation Is For
Cognitive and memory symptoms rarely fit a single, simple explanation. Medication effects, mood, sleep, neurological factors, and life circumstances can all play a role. The Comprehensive Cognitive & Memory Evaluation is designed to consider the whole clinical picture, not a single symptom in isolation.
You leave with a clear, written plan explaining what we found, what it may mean, and what next steps may be appropriate for your situation.
When This Evaluation Is Helpful
When symptoms are new or have worsened
Cognitive or behavioral changes that have begun to affect safety, independence, work, or relationships.
When several possible explanations exist
Symptoms that could reflect medication effects, mood, sleep, neurological factors, or something else entirely.
When prior evaluations have not produced answers
A second, more focused look can help clarify what may have been missed and what the right next step could be.
When a baseline matters
Documenting the current picture clearly so future changes can be measured against it.
