Olu Jacobs is battling Lewy body dementia. It’s so unfair when brilliant people are stripped of the essence of who they are because of old age ?

My favorite patient population is generic & subset with dementia. No dementia is same,they have different memory access capabilities,some are functional with their ADLs while others need help.Don’t assume you know the level of Pa Olu Jacobs’s illness. Don’t speculate!

Mehn!!! Olu Jacobs has dementia, that's heavy. I remember how alive he was in that British sitcom from long ago. There's still life ahead, wish him and Joke Silva all the best in the world.
