Dementia

Dementia is an umbrella term for a range of progressive conditions that affect the brain. When you or someone you care for is living with dementia, your world can fall apart.

There are over 200 different types of dementia including Alzheimer’s, vascular, Lewy bodies, frontotemporal and mixed dementia.

Here’s how we can help.
