The pot on the stove — cognition enters the plan

PD-MCI is an early, executive-first syndrome, and the MDS criteria plus a MoCA or SCOPA-COG are how it is named rather than hinted at. It changes physiotherapy because gait is attentional: dual-task cost is measurable, trainable with instruction and practice, and dangerous when ignored — and safety questions like the stove and the car belong in the plan, documented. What you do with it: screen with the instrument that sees executive dysfunction, grade dual-task work from corridors to car parks, keep single-task rules where falls would land, and refer the driving question formally instead of hoping it.

• Any further kitchen or driving incident — escalate to neurology and occupational therapy the same week
• Hallucinations, fluctuating confusion or rapid cognitive change — this is not routine PD-MCI; medical review

• Sixty days in — the first prescription is exerciseTier 1
• The freezing doorway — cueing, not a caneTier 2
