Understanding Dementia
Dementia refers to a collection of symptoms that affect memory, thinking, and behaviour. It is caused by damage to brain cells, which impacts the brain’s ability to function properly. The symptoms of dementia can vary depending on the affected area of the brain, but memory loss, confusion, and difficulty with communication are often the most common.
While there are many forms of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, and frontotemporal dementia, each type requires tailored care to address specific challenges.
Types of Dementia
Vascular Dementia
This type results from problems with blood flow to the brain, often following strokes. Symptoms tend to include slow thinking, difficulty concentrating, and issues with problem-solving.
Alzheimer’s Disease
The most common form of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, is linked to genetic factors and the buildup of plaques and tangles in the brain. Memory loss, confusion, and behavioural changes are typical symptoms.
Parkinson’s Disease Dementia
Many individuals with Parkinson’s disease eventually develop dementia. Symptoms include visual hallucinations, movement difficulties, and cognitive impairment.
Frontotemporal Dementia
This affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, impacting personality, behaviour, and language skills.
Lewy Body Dementia
Characterised by the presence of protein deposits in the brain, Lewy body dementia often results in visual hallucinations, sleep disturbances, and problems with movement.
Caring for Advanced Dementia
As dementia progresses to more advanced stages, the level of care required increases significantly. Our carers provide essential support, helping with more complex needs while promoting dignity and respect throughout.
