If someone with dementia feels rushed in a shop, this may cause stress and anxiety, and could discourage that person from going shopping again. Being patient & understanding can make all the difference in providing a more positive experience for someone living with dementia.

This evening everyone at Alzheimer’s Research UK lit a candle in remembrance of all those who lived with dementia and sadly lost their lives to COVID-19. Our thoughts are with all who have been impacted by the pandemic. We are hopeful a brighter future is in our sights. 🕯🧡

'It’s hard to describe posterior cortical atrophy (PCA). People think I’m daft when I explain that I can see something, but at the same time I can’t see it.' This #RareDiseaseDay, Michael shares his experience of living with PCA, a rarer type of dementia. bit.ly/3qT6nq1

Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) means ‘back of the brain shrinkage’. It’s a rare form of dementia caused by damage to cells at the back of the brain and mainly affects vision. It's a physical condition, with a physical impact. Research will find a way to stop it. #RareDiseaseDay

A fantastic action from Fiona today who highlights the importance of one of our five key messages ‘there is more to the person than the dementia.’ Fiona says: “I really do want to help spread the word to change the stigma.”
