Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) involves changes that go beyond typical aging but aren’t severe enough to significantly disrupt independence. Families often describe this stage as an uncertain in-between — where routines still work, but memory or focus feels different.
At Parc Provence, we provide gentle support for those in the early stages of cognitive change. We focus on what residents can do, not what they’ve lost. Our environment encourages each person to stay active and engaged with the world around them, helping each resident find confidence, connection, and purpose through structured activities and compassionate care.
Recognizing Signs of Mild Cognitive Impairment
Early signs can be subtle and easy to overlook. They are noticeable, but generally do not interfere with daily life nor do they inhibit the ability to function independently. For many families, it begins with small things like misplaced items, moments of confusion, or growing frustration during complex tasks. People diagnosed with MCI have an increased risk of developing dementia.
Occasional forgetfulness or misplaced items
Difficulty focusing or multitasking
Anxiety or irritability when routines change
Confusion with time, schedules, or appointments
Decreased motivation or withdrawal from social activities
