Husband developing memory issues

Is there anyone on here that has aphasia or a spouse with aphasia?
I read so many posts about TBI but they all relate to a stroke. My wife had a bad fall in 2019 &, after a two week stay in the hospital, seemed fine & back to normal.
However, sometime in 2022 she began to struggle with getting her words out. She was diagnos d with primary progressive aphasia & MCI.
Is anyone on this site in a similar situation, &, if so, have you found any method that provides any improvement?
Comments welcome.

My husband has had noticeable memory issues the last couple of years. About 8 months ago his Dr finally had him to take one of the cognitive tests and he scored for MCI.
In April of this year he had a fall and dislocated his shoulder and probably a concussion from the fall. His memory has declined drastically after that fall and hitting his head.
We recently saw a neurologist and he had the blood test to check for APOE gene. He has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
So, in response to your question, I know he already had Alzheimer’s and I believe the fall contributed to progressing the disease.
No medical facts behind that, just my observation of day to day living.
He was offered the infusion treatments but the risk seems to outweigh the benefits. It’s a tough decision.
