Overview

Advanced Dementia is a progressive and terminal form of dementia that significantly impacts a person’s daily life and overall health. It usually affects people over the age of 65, and has a range of symptoms such as memory loss, impaired reasoning and judgement, language difficulties, visual and spatial disorientation, and mood changes. People suffering from advanced dementia may require around-the-clock care and assistance to manage the day-to-day tasks. It is a devastating condition that can take a physical and emotional toll on both the person affected and their families. Early diagnosis of advanced dementia is crucial in allowing people to plan for the future, and there are a range of treatments and supports available for people with the condition and their families. The aim is to provide relief from symptoms and improve quality of life. Treatments may include psychological approaches, medications, lifestyle modifications, and sensory stimulation. It is also important for relatives and carers to be aware of the support services available for their own needs. Advanced dementia can be a difficult condition to understand and manage, but it is possible to live a meaningful and fulfilling life with the support of family and professionals.
