Geriatric Mental Health Training Series: Revised

The Folstein mini-mental status exam is a short, cost-effective cognitive screen that can estimate the severity of dementia. The mini-mental scores range from 0 to 30 with normal above 26. Alzheimer patients lose two points per year. Mild dementia patients score 20 to 26, moderate score 10 to 20, and severe score below 10. ................
