Hello: You mentioned not being sure about how to handle it all. We are here for you.
When my husband was diagnosed with MCI, we started with our medical facility's monthly dementia support group. Our doctor referred him for the long cognitive testing, MRI and C/T scans, etc.
Also, start trying to find online, free classes or helpful videos on YouTube (like Teepa Snow). Just type in the issue you're struggling with in the search bar, and I bet someone has posted a helpful video.
Our state (Oregon) has free classes from Oregon Care Partners, extremely helpful. I hope your state does too. These are all online; since we're caregivers it can be challenging to get out to go take a class.
Good luck and visit here often. ☀️
