What is Dementia Care?
Memory loss, poor judgment, disorientation, and behavioral changes that are severe enough to hinder function are among the symptoms of dementia.
​
Even if the elderly are more susceptible, dementia is not a natural aspect of aging. When brain function steadily deteriorates and starts to interfere with daily activities, dementia develops.
