Dementia Care
“She forgets things she just said… and sometimes she doesn’t even recognize me.”
When someone you love starts forgetting familiar names, losing track of time, or getting confused even in their own home, it’s heartbreaking. At first, you might think it’s just “old age” or tiredness. But as memory loss becomes more frequent — and they start asking the same questions again and again — families often realize something deeper is going on.
This could be dementia — a condition that slowly affects the brain’s ability to remember, think, and make decisions. It's more than just forgetfulness. Over time, it can change a person’s personality, emotions, and behavior.
What Families Usually Notice:
• Repeating questions or forgetting recent conversations
• Misplacing things or getting lost in familiar places
• Confusing names, dates, or words
• Difficulty managing money, cooking, or daily tasks
• Sudden mood changes, anger, suspicion, or even fear
• In later stages, forgetting family members or losing basic self-care abilities
These changes can be scary — not just for the person with dementia, but also for those caring for them.
