They say that knowledge is power.  Understanding that dementia is a progressive condition that affects not only cognitive function such as memory, reasoning, and communication but other underlying conditions is important. Learning about what type of dementia your parent or senior loved one is living with and what stage they are in will give direction to your caregiving approach.
