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. #LoveyouMom #LoveyouDad #LoveyouHoney

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. Repost if you agree. #endalz #alzheimers

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

💙 Dementia caregiving is tough—but you don’t have to do it alone. Support groups (both in-person & virtual) offer guidance, shared experiences, and emotional strength from those who truly understand. Let us know—what has your experience with support groups been like? #alzheimers #Caregiver

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. buff.ly/3PtOqwp buff.ly/4fYcPoq buff.ly/3PxtZ1y #Alzheimers #caregiving

Younger people don’t understand. 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. ☹️

Caregiving often means navigating deeply personal moments—like assisting with showering, using the toilet, or wiping—that can be both physically demanding and emotionally draining. Balancing dignity, comfort, & safety is hard. Caregivers deserve understanding and support every step of the way.

Many people do not (yet) know that #Medicare and health insurance companies do not help to pay for caring for someone with dementia. Memory care costs you. Costs are not deductible on taxes. #Dementia costs families 300 to 400 billion dollars per year in the US. #Alzheimers Prevention is key. 🔑
