Navigating Posterior Cortical Atrophy

A caregiver’s guide to supporting your loved one with confidence and compassion.

About this guide

Written for the person doing the caring.

Caring for a loved one with Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA) can be confusing and stressful — this rare condition affects visual processing, spatial awareness, and coordination, often while memory stays intact. Because PCA is so frequently misunderstood, understanding it is the first step toward confident, compassionate care.

This free guide explains PCA in clear, simple language — its symptoms, progression, and daily care strategies — so you can make informed decisions and advocate effectively for your loved one.
