What is Dementia?
Dementia is not a disease in itself, but instead refers to various brain disorders which have the similarity of affecting brain function, causing specific symptoms. These include memory issues, disorientation, confusion and isolation. Due to this cognitive impact, dementia and its symptoms incur a number of challenges for those who suffer from it, especially when carrying everyday tasks.

Due to this cognitive impact, dementia and its symptoms incur a number of challenges for those who suffer from it, especially when carrying everyday tasks.
Dementia encompasses over 100 different types of illnesses, one of the common being Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s accounts for approximately ⅔ of all Dementia cases and has more specific symptoms.
Early stages of Dementia are most often harder to diagnose. As symptoms can only be very mild, this type of illness progresses to eventually become considerably more severe and flagrant. This is when dementia home care specialists should be arranged to support them throughout their daily routines.

How to Recognise Symptoms of Dementia
Being aware of symptoms of Dementia could help diagnose the illness at an early stage, ensuring the person affected receives the adequate specialist care.
Early symptoms could include the following:
- Declining memory
- Issues with language and communicating
- Inability to perform regular everyday tasks
- Disorientation and poor judgement of surroundings
- Trouble concentrating
- Short-term memory loss
- Mood swings
- Isolation and passiveness

How To Help Someone With Dementia
Every single Dementia case is unique, however, for the vast majority of cases, it is essential to offer sensitive and compassionate support to people with dementia. This includes bespoke help with dementia care to encourage independence and self-confidence.
Caring for dementia patients at home also entails making sure their physical health and diet are carefully managed.
A healthy and nutritious diet combined with regular exercise such as walking, will help preserve physical independence. At the same time, it will help preserve mental well-being and improve life quality and expectancy.
Over the years, research have proven and strongly suggested that the following activities can help stimulate brain functions and comfort people affected by Dementia:
- Asking simple questions to trigger memory and decision-making
- Direct face to face communication and interaction to stimulate social, language and concentration skills
- Regular encouragement, and acknowledgement of positive action will help preserve their self-confidence and therefore independence
- Reminiscing memories and the past to engage long-term memory and happy life events and encourage interaction and discussion
Can Dementia be treated?
At present, a specific cure for Dementia does not exist. However, scientific research is making constant progress towards improving available treatments and hopefully one day finding a cure or preventive therapy.
If diagnosed early, sufferers of Dementia can get an appropriate dementia care plan, making it as easy as possible to live with the illness.
Dementia manifests differently in each person, so treatments should be tailored to the individual’s specific symptoms, needs, and requirements.
