Understanding Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease
Dementia is not one condition. It is a term used to describe progressive cognitive disorders such as:
Alzheimer’s disease
Lewy body dementia
Frontotemporal dementia
Vascular dementia
These conditions may affect:
Memory
Judgment
Communication
Behavior
Sleep cycles
Mobility
Personal hygiene
Every person experiences dementia differently. That is why care must be personalized, not standardized.
