Dementia
There are more than 100 types of dementia. The condition affects memory, emotions, communication, behaviour, vision and motor skills, and worsens over time.

Memory is essential in helping us to navigate through daily life and significant or deteriorating problems with memory can be a sign of dementia.
Communication
Dementia can affect a person’s ability to communicate in a multitude of ways but this does not mean they need to feel excluded because of it.
