Understanding the Different Types of Dementia

Dementia is an umbrella term that covers several conditions, each with its own unique symptoms and challenges. Here are some of the most common forms of dementia:

Alzheimer’s Disease

This is the most well-known type of dementia, often causing memory loss and confusion due to the buildup of abnormal proteins in the brain.

Vascular Dementia

Caused by reduced blood flow to the brain, this type of dementia can result in problems with planning, decision-making, and concentration.

Lewy Body Dementia

Characterised by abnormal protein deposits in the brain, this condition can cause visual hallucinations, difficulty with movement, and disrupted sleep patterns.

Frontotemporal Dementia

This type of dementia affects the front and sides of the brain, leading to changes in personality, behaviour, and language skills.

No matter the type of dementia, our care professionals have the skills and training needed to provide compassionate and effective care tailored to each individual’s needs.
