What Are the Stages of Dementia?

Dr. Leatherman and Dr. Goethe discuss the answer to one of the most common questions they are asked by caregivers who provide services to those with dementia. Are the stages a reliable prediction for every person with dementia? Will the stage of dementia dictate what kind of care you must provide? How are they used by professional facilities that care for our loved ones? The doctors talk about other ways to focus on daily functioning as a guide to determining how much care is needed.
