Every type of dementia will progress. There is no cure, so change is guaranteed. As the disease progresses, the patient’s
abilities, interests, and skills will change as damage to the brain spreads.
By recognizing these changes and offering matching support, the patient will maintain function as long as possible.

This module is designed to help you understand why the patient with dementia does what they do, how you can help, and how the disease effects the patient and his/her caregivers.
Remember, the patient is doing the best they can with a brain that is changing. As a home care aide, you can provide the best care for the patient throughout the disease with new knowledge and techniques that work!
