Read the full storyDementia is an umbrella term for conditions that affect memory, thinking, and behaviour. It develops over time and usually leads to increasing care needs. Home care for dementia helps maintain safety and comfort while supporting independence for as long as possible.
While there is no guaranteed way to prevent dementia, research suggests that certain lifestyle factors, such as staying active, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking or excessive alcohol, may help lower the risk. An early diagnosis and appropriate support can also make a difference in managing symptoms and planning care.
Learn more about the early signs of dementia and what to look out forDementia describes a group of conditions, while Alzheimer’s is the most common type and accounts for about 60 – 80% of cases. Alzheimer’s typically starts with memory loss and gradually affects speech, reasoning, and mobility. Specialist Alzheimer’s care focuses on these challenges, helping individuals maintain dignity and wellbeing.
Other types of dementia include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia and frontotemporal dementia.
Get practical advice for providing day-to-day Alzheimer’s care support at homeOne of the most recognised symptoms of dementia is memory loss that goes beyond normal forgetfulness. A person may not only forget someone’s name but might also stop recognising them as a friend or relative. They may lose track of where they live, what year it is, or want to return to a home from many years ago.
Dementia can also affect personality. Someone who was once calm or cheerful may become anxious, irritable, or unusually direct, which can feel very different from the person you know.
As the condition develops, people often rely more on others for reassurance. This might show up as repeated phone calls or questions, which are usually driven by memory loss or anxiety rather than choice.
Symptoms can vary, but they often follow stages:
Early stage: memory loss, confusion, difficulty concentrating
Middle stage: changes in behaviour, wandering, greater care needs
Late stage: limited communication, mobility issues, full-time support required
Dementia is an umbrella term for various brain conditions that affect memory, thinking, behaviour and daily functioning. The exact symptoms and progression can vary depending on which parts of the brain are affected, so understanding the different types can help with planning and care.
In late-stage dementia, care becomes more complex. Families often worry this means a move to a nursing home, but with the right care and support, many people can remain at home even when their care needs change.
