From all of the talk about Habit here, I so wish that I could participate but the only way I might is if I'm ready to fly some distance for it. If I had the time which I currently don't, I would try to find the equivalent of a Habit in NYC. At any rate, I think what Debbra says here about time for the partners is so important. A rationale, for working with the partners, if it were needed, is that doing so further helps the person with MCI.

Hi @barbb, HABIT is a fantastic program offered by Mayo. I realize that geographically that means it is not accessible to everyone. However, I'm glad that you are able to benefit from the blogs posted by the HABIT directors here. I also encourage you to connect with other partners caring for someone with MCI or other form of dementia, several of whom have been through the HABIT program, like @debbraw. Please follow the Caregivers: Dementia group, join the discussions, ask questions. We'll get you connected. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/caregivers-dementia/
