When was my dad diagnosed with vascular dementia?
My Dad was diagnosed with vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s about two and a half years ago, we noticed him getting worse about 6 months ago then in late November my brother came across him quite by chance out at midnight with a mop bucket full of overnight items!
Can you have vascular dementia without Alzheimer’s?
Vascular dementia without Alzheimer’s appears to be nearly impossible to predict or stage. The brain is affected in all different places, as it varies from person to person. It does not seem that it degenerates the system overall as Alzheimer’s does, either–it is not technically terminal.
Where does my dad go when he has dementia?
Anyway,a place was found in a nursing home but Dad refused to go in for an assessment and had to be detained under the mental health order – it’s been a complete nightmare. He is in a specialist dementia ward and from the day he went in its as if he has ‘fallen off a cliff’ both mentally and physically.
How long does it take to die from vascular dementia?
The brain is affected in all different places, as it varies from person to person. It does not seem that it degenerates the system overall as Alzheimer’s does, either–it is not technically terminal. A majority of people pass within 5-7 years of diagnosis, but seemingly it is often from stroke or heart attack.
