If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or early stage dementia, involvement in early stage programs can be very helpful. Participating in a positive, supportive, and stimulating program may enhance personal well-being and may help individuals with these diagnoses to remain healthier longer.
If you or someone you know is experiencing memory problems but you have not yet seen a physician, we strongly encourage you to make an appointment and have these concerns evaluated. This can be done through your primary physician or through a local Memory Assessment Clinic.
Early stage programs offer:
- Education on dementia-related issues and concerns
- Personal support
- A welcoming environment to share with others who are experiencing similar issues
- Opportunities for cognitive enhancement and meaningful activity
Some early stage programs also include opportunities for caregiver support. For questions or additional information, contact the Alzheimer's & Dementia Alliance at 608.232.3400 / 888.308.6251 or send us an email.
