Dementia is progressive. This means symptoms may be relatively mild at first but they get worse with time. Dementia affects everyone differently, however it can be helpful to think of dementia progressing in ‘three stages’.
Our dementia information is available to read or listen to online. You can also order a free printed copy of this factsheet and other dementia publications through the post.
