Dementia is a complex condition affecting millions of individuals worldwide. That’s why MyCaregiverFinder caregivers offer specialized home care services tailored to meet the unique needs of those living with this condition.

Here are the four most common types of dementia:

Alzheimer’s Disease: Characterized by a gradual loss of short-term memory and language skills, Alzheimer’s accounts for nearly 70% of all dementia cases, making it the most prevalent type.

Vascular Dementia: Unlike other forms of dementia, vascular dementia can be unpredictable. It occurs due to a series of small strokes over time, leading to sudden changes in cognitive abilities and affecting judgment and behavior.

Lewy Body Dementia: The third most common form of dementia, individuals with Lewy body dementia may experience visual disturbances, delusional thinking, and significant difficulties with walking and balance.

Frontotemporal Dementia: This group of disorders is caused by progressive nerve cell loss in the brain, leading to impulse and behavioral changes, language difficulties, and a general sense of apathy.

Living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia can be challenging for patients and their families, but there are ways to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. New medications, such as Lequembi, hold promise in mitigating symptoms.

Many older adults with cognitive impairment go undiagnosed, presenting real challenges for family caregivers. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a common initial diagnosis that may not progress to advanced dementia. MyCaregiverFinder caregivers are experienced and knowledgeable, providing assistance that ensures individuals remain safe and comfortable as the illness progresses.
