Life After Diagnosis

Experiencing changes in your memory can be frustrating and scary. We encourage you to speak with a trusted family member, friend or a healthcare professional if you are having concerns about your memory. By clicking on the topics below, you can access information about Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), Alzheimer’s disease, and other dementias and how to go about getting an evaluation.

I’ve Received a Diagnosis, Now What?

Now that you’ve received a diagnosis, you’re probably experiencing a number of different feelings such as shock, fear, sadness, anger, or even relief. You may also be struggling with the idea that you have an irreversible illness, yet you don’t feel sick. These are all normal reactions!

It can often be helpful to talk about what you’re feeling and thinking rather than to keep things bottled up inside. In addition to talking with people who are close to you, you can contact our CaringKind Helpline
at (646) 744-2900, we’re always here to listen. Connect with our team to discuss your options.

No matter where you are on your Alzheimer's journey, we're here for you.

These are the resources we think you’ll find helpful. If you still can’t find what you’re looking for, get in touch with our Dementia Specialists at (646) 744-2900 or email helpline@cknyc.org

About Nominations
100 Women of Impact is a curated national movement with a limited number of seats. Nominations are welcomed and encouraged; however, submission of a nomination does not guarantee acceptance into the movement.

All nominations are reviewed thoughtfully through a vetting process that considers alignment with the mission, values, and leadership posture of 100 Women of Impact, as well as current capacity. Because this is an intentionally curated movement, not all nominees will be invited to join. We are grateful for every nomination and for the care taken in putting names forward.
