Dementia is the name given to a group of conditions that affect the brain, the most common being Alzheimer’s disease. Every type of dementia can affect people in different ways, meaning that care must be carefully personalised to each individual. As a progressive condition, symptoms will get worse as time goes on sp our support is adaptable and provided by highly-skilled nurses who can spot changes as they happen.
