Dementia care: what is it?
Dementia is a condition that affects a person’s cognitive abilities, impacting their memory, thinking, and daily functioning. As dementia progresses, it can lead to difficulties in communication, recognising familiar faces or places, and performing routine tasks. This condition is not a specific disease but rather a general term used to describe various symptoms caused by disorders affecting the brain.
