Steve Levine brings hands-on caregiving and years of dementia research to HelpDementia.com. After becoming a supplementary caregiver for a grandparent diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease in 2023, he has spent hundreds of hours navigating the realities of cognitive decline — vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, sundowning, behavioral changes, medication transitions, and the financial and emotional toll caregiving takes on families.
He writes about memory care, caregiver burnout, dementia-friendly activities, and emerging treatments for Parkinson's disease dementia and other forms of dementia, distilling lived experience and peer-reviewed research into practical guides families can actually use. His goal is simple: to give the next generation of caregivers the playbook he wishes he'd had on day one. Connect with Steve on LinkedIn.
