💜 Today is World Alzheimer’s Day, a day to deepen our understanding and support those affected by Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Misconceptions, like thinking dementia is a normal part of aging, can delay care and empathy. Let’s do better:
• Talk openly to break down stigma
• Share trusted information, not myths
• Recognize the load on family caregivers (often 20+ hrs/week)
• Offer help, even small moments of support can mean a lot

What are your experiences with dementia care or awareness? Share below to help build more compassionate communities.
