Research into dementia is thankfully progressing all the time. This has led to the classification of over 400 types of dementia, the most common of which are Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia.
Dementia is most common in people aged 65 and over but it can occur at a younger age. Sadly, most dementias are progressive and lead to a deterioration of functionality over time. However, there’s lots that can be done to help people live well at home.
