Understanding Dementia: A Guide for Caregivers

KS CASS • 17 July 2024

Dementia is a progressive brain disease that causes memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioural changes. As a caregiver for someone with dementia, it's important to understand the condition to provide effective support.


What is Dementia? Dementia is a broad term that encompasses several conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and Lewy body dementia. While the causes of dementia vary, they all involve the death of brain cells.

Common Symptoms of Dementia:


  • Memory loss: Difficulty remembering recent events or information.
  • Language problems: Trouble finding the right words or following conversations.
  • Changes in behaviour: Mood swings, aggression, or withdrawal.
  • Difficulty with tasks: Challenges with everyday activities like dressing or cooking.


Tips for Caregivers:

  • Create a safe environment: Remove hazards and label items clearly.
  • Maintain a routine: Consistent daily schedules can help reduce confusion.
  • Provide emotional support: Offer empathy and understanding.
  • Seek respite care: Take breaks to recharge and prevent burnout.
  • Join a support group: Connect with others facing similar challenges.



KS CASS Care Services is committed to providing compassionate care for individuals with dementia. Our experienced caregivers can offer personalized support and resources to help you and your loved one navigate this journey.
