DEMENTİA CARE
Dementia
describes different brain disorders that trigger a loss of brain function.
These
conditions
are all usually progressive and eventually severe.
Alzheimer's
disease is the most common type of dementia, affecting between 50 and 75 per
cent of
those diagnosed.5
Unlike
companionship care, people with dementia needs extensive support and the care
provider
needs to have specific set of skills to provide dementia care. People with
dementia
can
struggle to do all their life daily routines by their own and can need a full
or partial support
for their daily
routines and / or vital functions.
