How To Treat Mild Cognitive Impairment In An Elderly Person?

My husband is 73 years old. Having difficulty with memory a little. But mostly not connecting the pieces. I am concerned. He plays cards and scrabble with not too much difficulty but when speaking in a group of people, he will start talking about something other than what everyone else is speaking about. . he did this or that and no one know who he is unless asked.His brother has alzeheimers but I don t think it is that but not sure what to make of it and I am concerned. His driving directions, although never good, are far worse now. What should I do?
