Dementia is a type of decline, happening over time, that most commonly associated with memory loss. Although dementia is a condition that anyone can develop, it’s most likely to be induced in certain groups of people; individuals with down syndrome are more likely to have dementia as well as people in older adulthood. Dementia can also affect younger people.
Dementia shows itself differently in different groups of people at different times. A Dementia diagnosis can often come as a shock and you may need time to adjust. It is important to have early conversations about your future care to plan for additional support as the condition progresses. Decisions can be around managing your finances and making legal arrangement such as wills and powers of attorney.
