Support Group for Those of Us Living With Mild Dementia

I know there is a Dementia Caregiver Support Group.

I would like to have a group for people like me. I am entering the Mild Dementia phase from Mild Cognitive Impairment.
It’s frightening to think about my future.

Could a group for Dementia Patients be started?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Aging Well Support Group.

@jayanthk, thanks to @SusanEllen66 efforts in starting this discussion and forming a supportive group of people living with cognitive impairment, we will be opening a new support group on Mayo Clinic Connect soon (likely June).

To everyone, here is a list of Support Groups by condition on Mayo Clinic Connect https://connect.mayoclinic.org/groups/

Following the naming convention and to help people find the new group in an alphabetical list, what name would you call the group?
A. Cognitive Impairment & Living with Early Dementia
B. Dementia: Living with Cognitive Impairment
C. Early Dementia & Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)

@colleenyoung Actually, I’d probably reverse the order of C, because not all MCI progresses to dementia.

Nancy E. Im beginning to have "some signs" ie. losing an important thought in the middle of a conversation - not remembering names of people and places - occasionally forgetting my grocery list... However I can do most med. Level sudokus and play a pretty successful bridge game.
What can I do?
