Caregiving is an act of extraordinary love. 💜

It can mean navigating medical appointments, managing daily routines, offering emotional support and advocating for a loved one through every stage of the disease. Caregivers are unsung heroes, often putting the needs of others first.

To every caregiver in our community: Thank you. We see you and are here for you.

Our hearts go out to the family, friends and fans of iconic actor Patrick Stewart who died with Alzheimer's and Lewy body dementia this week.

Known for his iconic roles as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek and Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men franchise, Patrick was a force on screens big and small.

May his legacy of empathy, compassion and curiosity be an inspiration to us all. 🖖https://t.co/u261f0KaHE

Marvel Studios on the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart:

“All of us at Marvel Studios are deeply saddened by the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart. Sir Patrick brought Professor Charles Xavier to life with extraordinary grace, intelligence, and humanity, defining the character for generations of fans, from "X-Men" to "Logan" to "Avengers: Doomsday." He was a singular talent, a generous collaborator, and a true gentleman. Our hearts go out to his wife Sunny, his children, his friends, and the countless fans around the world whose lives he touched with his art.”

During this year's #LewyBodyDementia Awareness Month, we will focus on the concept that #UnderstandingChangesEverything.

Did you know that hallucinations are common in Lewy body dementias (#ParkinsonsDiseaseDementia and #DementiawithLewyBodies)? Hallucinations are actually a core diagnostic feature of DLB and may be one of the first symptoms to emerge. They can start as an unseen presence or the feeling of something touching you. Then as DLB progresses, the hallucinations may evolve to shadowy images or vivid visual hallucinations.
