According to the Alzheimer’s Association, roughly 12% to 18% of people aged 60 or older are living with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). This condition represents an early stage of memory loss or decline in other cognitive abilities, such as language or visual/spatial perception, in individuals who still have the capability to carry out most activities of daily living independently. It is crucial for caregivers and aging services professionals to understand MCI, its hallmarks, and care strategies.

Join us as we explore the science behind Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)—what it is, how it differs from normal aging and dementia, and the key signs to watch for. We will also examine the progression of MCI, discussing whether and how it changes over time. Additionally, we will provide practical home care strategies that have assisted families and professionals in creating safer, more meaningful, and enjoyable daily experiences for individuals living with MCI and their caregivers.

Learn more about the following:

  • The science behind Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)
  • Hallmarks of MCI
  • Effective home care strategies
  • Situations and activities to avoid for better care support
