Caregiving is an act of extraordinary love. 💜
It can mean navigating medical appointments, managing daily routines, offering emotional support and advocating for a loved one through every stage of the disease. Caregivers are unsung heroes, often putting the needs of others first.
To every caregiver in our community: Thank you. We see you and are here for you.

What advice would you give to a caregiver of a loved one who's been newly diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease? We asked our National Early-Stage Advisory Group members, who are living with dementia or mild cognitive impairment, to share their thoughts.
Their messages were clear: Take the time you need, find the joy in what you love, and celebrate who you are. 💜

Known for his iconic roles as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek and Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men franchise, Patrick was a force on screens big and small.
May his legacy of empathy, compassion and curiosity be an inspiration to us all. 🖖on.today.com/3UnMDig
