Description

If you've ever asked yourself, "What stage of dementia is my loved one in?" you're not alone. I used to think there was a clear answer. I thought if I could just figure out the stage, I'd know what to expect and how to plan ahead. But the truth is, it's a lot more complicated than that.

In this video, I'm sharing what I wish I knew sooner about the stages of dementia. I'll go over the different staging systems, like the 3-stage model, the GDS, and the FAST scale. I'll also explain why your loved one might not fit neatly into any stage and what that actually means for your caregiving.
