Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly
To be completed by family members
The observations of caregivers are important for diagnosing dementia. If you find that a family member shows signs of cognitive and memory decline; and is not sure if that’s normal ageing or dementia, you can use the Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (IQ-CODE) for an initial screening.
