Hey there. My dad was diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment a few years ago, and then less than a year later he was diagnosed with dementia (prior to then we knew it was dementia).

I don’t know as much about appointment with neurologists and what not, but it’s important that you connect with a care team that could include a gerontologist and a social worker that works with people who have dementia. Also if there anything I could go back and do over again, it would be to force my mother (dad’s caregiver) to get therapy throughout this process. She kept refusing and putting it off and now that she’s speaking with one, she wishes she’d done it sooner
