This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is building a database to understand memory disorders and how they affect your ability to live independently. Researchers will track about 1,000 people with memory impairment over 3 years, checking in by phone every 6–12 months to see how your daily functioning changes. The goal is to identify early warning signs so doctors can better predict disease progression and help patients plan ahead.
Right now, there is no cure for memory disorders like Alzheimer's disease, so doctors focus on understanding how quickly the disease might progress in each person. By studying which factors predict changes in independence, researchers hope to give patients and families better information about what to expect and how to prepare.

You will first visit the Memory Clinic for an initial evaluation. Then, researchers will call you every 6–12 months for the next 3 years to ask about your ability to manage daily activities like cooking, paying bills, and getting around. These phone calls take place at home, and the study uses information from your medical visits and records to look for patterns that predict how your independence might change over time.
