dementia care
Cognitive decline assistance
Dementia care is the specialized support and assistance provided to people with dementia—conditions like Alzheimer's disease that cause progressive cognitive decline.
It encompasses medical treatment, daily living assistance, safety supervision, and emotional support.
My mother moved to a dementia care facility when she could no longer live alone.
