The State of Washington is looking to help current and future family caregivers! As Rosalynn Carter once said, “There are only four kinds of people in the world: 1. those who have been caregivers, 2. those who currently are caregivers, 3. those who will be caregivers, and 4. those who will need caregivers.” We are working hard to improve information and supports for family caregivers across the state.

Many people with vision loss experience “phantom images” that are often pleasant images such as butterflies, flowers, or even friendly faces. These visual hallucinations, while lovely, can be unsettling for the person experiencing them. The source of these phantom images is known as Charles Bonnet Syndrome that mysteriously appears with vision loss.
