Welcome to the place where I share dementia tips, strategies, and information for family members caring for a loved one with any type of dementia (such as Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy Body dementia, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, etc.)
Today’s video talks about the stages of dementia. There are different ways to determine dementia stages and several different models to describe the different stages. This video goes over the two most popular ways that the general population stages dementia. There is a 3 stage model of dementia staging and a 7 stage model. This video was made for Careblazer, Annette. I hope that you find it helpful and if you have any specific questions or topics you want to see featured, let me know by leaving a comment below any of my videos.

In case you haven’t met me, my name is Natali Edmonds and I am a board certified geropsychologist. That means that I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with older adults. One day, while hiking a trail, I came up with the idea for Careblazers and I decided to see if posting videos online could provide help to the many other Careblazers in the world who don’t get to have help come directly to them in their homes. I hope that this work helps you in some way on your caregiving journey.
