Dementia care

 When a person with dementia finds that their mental abilities are declining, they often feel vulnerable and in need of reassurance and support. Normal activities become more difficult to do. Their personality may change. They may withdraw or become frustrated, bewildered, agitated, or even abusive. No medicine can slow down the diseases causing a patient’s dementia. That is, no medicine can slow the rate of brain damage. Some medicines give some relief from symptoms for some forms of dementia, but these don’t help all patients. Dementia goes on for many years and the patient needs more and more help with time.
