@debbrawdebbraw Looks interesting. We are in Michigan. I believe he has advanced from MCI to moderate to severe.

Hi @dianejane, I'm not sure what criteria they use for HABIT, but I do think it might be worth checking with Mayo to see about eligibility or what other programs may be available. It may help you feel less like you are struggling alone. Like we were talking about earlier, the feelings of isolation can be overwhelming. I'm hoping all goes well with your communication issues and you stay on Connect!

@dianajane I think you would enjoy following the Page on Connect called:
- Living with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) https://connect.mayoclinic.org/page/living-with-mild-cognitive-impairment-mci/

The Directors and guest bloggers publish a weekly blog and there's also more information about the HABIT program at Mayo Clinic, etc.

FYI: The blog posts on the MCI post are likely of high interest to everyone in the discussion group. They're really good.
