Dementia Education
Virtual Event
This webinar sheds light on what makes Lewy Body Dementia unique, from early symptoms like cognitive changes and visual hallucinations to movement issues and sleep disturbances. We’ll walk through how it is diagnosed, how it overlaps with and differs from Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, and what can be done to manage symptoms. You’ll also learn about treatment options, daily care strategies, and where to find support as a caregiver or family member.
This program is suited for individuals living with Lewy Body Dementia, their caregivers, family members, and anyone interested in gaining a better understanding of Lewy Body Dementia.
