✨ New Study Alert ✨ Research on end-of-life experiences for individuals with Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) shows mixed results. While many caregivers reported positive experiences, key insights include: 🔹 DLB patients typically died of disease-related complications, about 3.24 years post-diagnosis. 🔹 Only 44% of caregivers felt well-informed by clinicians. 🔹 Worsening symptoms included cognitive decline and motor function issues. 🔹 Nearly 90% received hospice care, though 20% for less than a week. Improving clinician counseling and hospice care could enhance end-of-life experiences. 💬🏥 #DementiaWithLewyBodies #EndOfLifeCare #CaregiverSupport #HospiceCare #DLB #HealthcareResearch

On this National Caregivers Day, let's take a moment to acknowledge the invaluable care and support that family caregivers provide to their loved ones living with dementia. Unfortunately, misconceptions and stigma surrounding Alzheimer's disease remain prevalent, even among highly educated healthcare professionals. By improving our understanding of AD, we can reduce stigma and improve outcomes for both people living with AD and their caregivers. Let's work together to break down these barriers and provide better care for those in need. #NationalCaregiversDay #AlzheimersKnowledge #AlzheimersAwareness # Stigma

The SPECAL method is all about person-centred, rather than clinical-centred, care. This was written by USA-based Esther Heerema on the topic and for me, sums it up very well: "Person-centered care is a way of providing care to people by focusing on the person's uniqueness and preferences, instead of the disease, its expected symptoms and challenges, and the person's lost abilities. Person-centered care recognizes that dementia is only a diagnosis and that there is much more to the person than just a diagnosis." #personcentredcare #dementiacare #doingdementiadifferently #alzheimerssupport #helpwithdementiacare #understandingdementia
