Tales from my eventful and ongoing journey as a Generation X caregiver for my father and as an advocate for Lewy Body Dementia caregivers.
LBD Caregiver Link
Toll-free LBD Caregiver Link – 800.539.9767
LBD families and caregivers can connect directly on a regional basis, through the LBD Caregiver Link, featuring “Lewy Buddies.” “Lewy Buddies" are experienced LBD caregivers who share their time and experience with LBD families by:
v Listening compassionately and confidentially to the challenges of LBD families and sharing their own personal experience with LBD
v Offering emotional support
v Referring families to additional LBDA programs and services as appropriate for their needs.
While Lewy Buddies are not able to provide medical advice and are not medical professionals, they are typically well informed about LBD through their personal experiences and volunteer training with LBDA. They may also be able to help identify information and community resources concerning the diagnosis and care of a person with Lewy body Dementia.
When calling or emailing the LBD Caregiver Link, you will speak with an experienced caregiver who can provide information on LBD and who can also share their personal experience and compassion. Please leave a message and an LBDA volunteer will return your call within 24-48 hours.
