Dementia is one of those neurodegenerative diseases that affect the brain. According to NHS, among the symptoms of dementia include memory loss, difficulty concentrating, difficulty to execute daily tasks, struggling to keep up with a conversation, being confused about places and time, as well as mood changes.
For those who are caring for the elderly with dementia, it is best to change the subject instead of saying that they are wrong. One could always say, "I remember," then just add in the thing that you remembered. This will prove useful to the person suffering from dementia.
