Dementia is a term which describes a number of conditions that cause damage to brain cells. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of Dementia but there are many different types of this illness – over a hundred in fact. They include Frontal Temporal (also known as Picks), Lewy Body, Vascular, and many more.

Dementia is progressive, which means the symptoms will get worse over time. How quickly Dementia progresses depends entirely on the individual. Each person will have their own unique experience with Dementia and this will impact on their individual requirements for Dementia care services.

Dementia is characterised by a gradual deterioration in memory and so impacts on the person’s ability to carry out everyday activities, make decisions, understand information and express themselves. Dementia may also affect a person’s mood and personality.
