At LeanOnWe, we understand the challenges that dementia brings. Our experienced caregivers create a safe and familiar environment, supporting your loved one's happiness and quality of life. With their help, you can have peace of mind knowing your loved one is in capable hands.

Dementia is a complex condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide. That's why LeanOnWe caregivers provide specialized home care services tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals living with this condition.

These are four the most common types of dementia:

1. Alzheimer's disease: This form of dementia is characterized by the gradual loss of short-term memory and language skills. It accounts for nearly 70 percent of all dementia cases, making it the most prevalent type.
2. Vascular dementia: Unlike other forms of dementia, vascular dementia can be unpredictable. It occurs due to a series of small strokes over time, leading to sudden changes in cognitive abilities and affecting judgment and behavior.
3. Lewy Body dementia: This is the third most common form of dementia. People with Lewy body dementia may experience visual disturbances, delusional thinking, and significant difficulties with walking and balance.
4. Frontotemporal dementia: This group of disorders is caused by progressive nerve cell loss in the brain. It can result in impulse and behavioral changes, language difficulties, and a general sense of apathy.

Living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia can be challenging for patients and their families, but there are ways to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. There are new medications such as Lequembi that hold promise of mitigating symptoms.

Many older adults with cognitive impairment go undiagnosed, but family caregivers face real challenges regardless. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a common initial diagnosis, which may not always progress to advanced dementia. LeanOnWe caregivers are experienced and knowledgeable, enabling them to provide assistance for individuals to remain safe and comfortable even as the illness progresses.
