What is Dementia?
Dementia is an umbrella term for a range of cognitive impairments that affect a person’s ability to think, remember, and make decisions. It is a progressive condition that can impact memory, communication, behaviour, and daily functioning. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia, but there are other forms, such as vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia, each with its own symptoms and progression. Dementia typically affects older adults, but it is not a normal part of aging.
While dementia causes gradual cognitive decline, the rate of progression and the symptoms experienced can vary widely from person to person. Those living with dementia may experience changes in mood, confusion, difficulty with familiar tasks, and challenges in recognising loved ones. It is important to offer both emotional and physical support, as individuals with dementia may struggle with their independence and experience frustration or anxiety. At Vacenti Aged Care, we provide specialised care to help residents manage dementia, ensuring they are treated with dignity and respect while maintaining their quality of life.
Dementia is not one specific disease. In fact, there are over 100 different types of dementia.
Dementia is not one specific disease. In fact, there are over 100 different types of dementia.
The most common types of dementia include Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, and dementia with Lewy bodies. Each of these conditions affects the brain in different ways, leading to symptoms such as memory loss, confusion, and changes in behaviour. Understanding the distinctions between these types is important for providing the right care and support for individuals living with dementia.
