Lewy Body Dementia Support Groups Near Maitland
Online and in-person support groups for Lewy body dementia are needed more than ever. Vivant Senior Living runs a network of memory care homes in Maitland, FL. We talk to a lot of families. Surprisingly, sometimes they are shocked to hear we know what Lewy body dementia is. Too often, memory care facilities do not understand the differences between the types of dementia. Knowing can make such an impact on care outcomes.
We are a big believer in support groups for families providing care to a family member with Lewy body dementia. Support groups can give families tools to understand their family member’s condition better. If you can understand your family member’s condition better, it allows you to seek and communicate the type of care they need. Support groups also provide an emotional outlet when you feel like the only person dealing with an issue.
