Diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or MCI – Now What? (Roosevelt 55+)


Lifelong Learning 55+ / Adventures in Learning -
Lifelong Learning 55+ Spring 2025

This class is for those who are newly diagnosed with Alzheimer's or MCI (Mild Cognitive Impairment)

Active support and guidance for Alzheimer’s patients often doesn’t begin until the patient is working with a care facility, years down the road. People newly diagnosed with Alzheimer's are left to fend for themselves.

Diagnosed with Alzheimer's, Bill was shocked at the lack of support from medical and insurance providers for diagnosed sufferers of Alzheimer's.

This presentation is his effort to share his experience. He will discuss basic FAQ's about Alzheimer's, share tips and tricks for living with the disease, and suggest concrete work-arounds to stave off the impact of the most common symptoms, for as long as possible.

This program is offered the Washburn Library, 5244 Lyndale Ave S.

Bill W

Bill is a 30+ year resident of Mpls. Originally from Chicago, where he taught high school Social Studies, and for 2 years was a medical librarian at Northwestern University School of Medicine. He moved to Mpls. in 1993, because it seemed like a good idea to live in the same state as his bride. Over the last 30 years Bill worked extensively in adult education, owned his own business, and worked in both retail & wholesale environments. And now he is looking ahead to the next chapter of his life.
