That’s great. Please post what you think of the program and if you feel it is worth attending. We were on the list and got into the program in November but my husband declined as it meant driving back and forth everyday from Surprise. He felt it was just too much to do.

I am very pleased to respond to your question regarding the benefits and value of the HABIT program at the MAYO CLINIC. My wife and I attended this program 2 years ago and it was the best decision my wife and I ever made. I had just been diagnosed with MCI and I decided to find the resource that would help me take it on!
This is an investment you will readily give you confidence that you can live and cope with your cognitive abilities. Over the 2 weeks you and your caregiver are given a toolkit to take on and and function with some adjustments. You will boost your self esteem and wellness of life functioning.
Finally, this is a group based program so you will establish friendships and a support group to connect with via the monthly HABIT Alumni meetings . You will feel better prepared for the journey ahead and I assure that you will also inspire others with your attitude and understanding of using the tool kit you have been given.
