Caregiving is deeply meaningful but can feel incredibly lonely.
Friends drift and exhaustion sets in. If you know a caregiver, reach out—your support matters. No one should walk this path alone. #CaregiverSupport #YouAreNotAlone #dementia #Alzheimers

Love isn’t just about memories—it’s about presence, patience, & heart. Even when dementia changes life, a bond remains.
On this Valentine’s Day, we celebrate the love that endures beyond words & memories—a love that can span decades & adapt to this great loss.

Dementia is cruel and does not care about your past, your achievements, or your skin.
To beat it we must understand it.
To understand it we must study it.
To study it we must be patient.
To be patient we must have faith.

🧵 A thread about dementia & those helping loved ones.
In honour of anyone or a family member you know, who has dementia. Would also be useful if hung at homes where there are patients with dementia
1. If I get dementia, I want my friends & family to embrace my reality & to remember these things

Dementia Caregiving Tip: Keep a “Yes, and…” mindset. Instead of correcting a loved one’s confusion, go with their reality and gently guide the conversation. It reduces stress for both of you and keeps the bond strong. #DementiaCare #Caregiving #alzheimers

Sailor's Syndrome?
Maybe dementia should be called the Sailor's Syndrome because of how it can take a life-long kind person and turn them into a foul-mouth sailor. 🦜
Dementia and Alzheimer's are more than memory. Cognition, insight, and executive functioning all decline. 🧠 #caregivers

Could CBD/THC help agitation in dementia?
🧠 Studies show low-dose CBD/THC combo (<10 mg THC) reduces agitation in people with dementia. ⚠️ Excessive THC causes discomfort/illness. Not med advice.

The average total healthcare spending in the last 5 years of life was $287,038 in patients with dementia. This is about $58,000 per year. This is a tremendous burden on American families. ☹️
