There are many stages of dementia. In fact even a few different scales that lay out the stages of dementia. Regardless of the stage, dementia is secondary to the person affected by it. It is important to stress that this is a person FIRST and someone affected by dementia second. Remembering the person they were before the dementia and using that knowledge to make decisions about their care and their routine is one way to maintain dignity.
