Hello teacher502, My husband has been diagnosed MCI due to AD. We participated in the Mayo Habit program a year ago. From that contact we are a part of alumni support groups. From a lovely woman who’s husband, like yours, has LBD we’ve learned so many clever accommodations for what she experiences. One such tip that might be useful for you is that the two start out in their bed together being sure th end the day cuddling and sharing embraces. Then he sleeps on a mattress laid on the floor next to her side of the bed. This has prevented the nighttime thrashing and injuries she used to sustain.

Hi Georgeaw, welcome to the group. As a HABIT alumni, you’ll have plenty to offer others in the group. You may also wish to follow the Living with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) blog, written by the HABIT directors. See here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/living-with-mild-cognitive-impairment-mci/

What was you biggest a-ha moment from the HABIT program?
