SUMMARY:Shifting Perceptions\, Steady Hearts: A Compassionate Look at Lewy Body Dementia
DESCRIPTION:Lewy body dementia (LBD) is often one of the least recognized and most misunderstood types of dementia—frequently misdiagnosed or mistaken for other neurological or psychiatric conditions. Individuals living with LBD face complex symptoms including hallucinations\, movement changes\, sleep disturbances\, and fluctuating cognition that demand more nuanced care approaches – and their care partners are right there alongside them providing support. \nThis session dives into how dementia-sensitive practices can transform the experience of both those living with LBD and their care partners. Through education\, storytelling\, and advocacy\, we’ll explore how stigma\, miscommunication\, and rushed assumptions can create barriers to person-centered care. This presentation encourages participants to rethink what compassionate dementia care looks like—fostering understanding\, emotional safety\, and dignity for all those impacted by Lewy body dementia. \n
