At JAYDS Home Care LLC, we understand the challenges of caring for those with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Unlike other types of senior care, Alzheimer’s and dementia care services must be tailored to the specific symptoms, risks, and challenges related to the different types of dementia or stages of Alzheimer’s.
What Is the Difference Between Dementia and Alzheimer’s?
Dementia is an umbrella term for a wide range of brain disorders that are characterized by memory loss. Alzheimer’s is the most common type of dementia. According to estimates, Alzheimer’s cases account for somewhere between 60% to 80% of all cases of dementia.
It’s therefore true that everyone with Alzheimer’s has dementia, but not everyone with dementia has Alzheimer’s. Individuals who are living with vascular dementia, for instance, will suffer symptoms similar to Alzheimer’s, but the cause of their dementia is different.
