Alzheimer's & Mild Cognitive Impairment

A clear, compassionate and practical guide for adults navigating concerns about memory loss, Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), and early Alzheimer’s—for themselves or their loved ones.

Written specifically for the Baby Boomer generation, Alzheimer's and Mild Cognitive Impairment demystifies what is normal cognitive aging versus warning signs that deserve attention, and explains complex medical concepts in accessible, reassuring language.

Grounded in current research and real-life experiences, this guide empowers readers to recognize early symptoms, seek timely diagnosis, and take meaningful action. It also explores:

• The causes of cognitive change
• The realities of MCI
• The emotional impact of diagnosis

With a strong focus on lifestyle strategies, mental wellness, planning, and maintaining independence, the book helps readers move from fear and uncertainty toward informed decision-making.

Above all, Alzheimer's and Mild Cognitive Impairment reframes cognitive decline not as an inevitable fate, but as a call to awareness, preparation, and living well—offering Baby Boomers the tools to protect their brain health, plan for the future, and preserve dignity and quality of life at every stage.
