Alzheimer’s, Lewy Body, Frontotemporal, Vascular, and Mixed Dementia.
Dementia is an umbrella term for a decline in memory, thinking, and reasoning skills that significantly impacts daily life. Each variety of dementia has different characteristics, and for caregivers, knowing the difference can help in monitoring a loved one’s symptoms and accessing the right resources.
Be an informed advocate for yourself and your family.
