Fort Worth Dementia Care

While people may be able to live independently in the early stages of dementia, as the condition progresses dangers can arise in everyday living. Dementia almost always leads to changes in a person’s abilities and behavior which affects what they can handle on their own. Although every situation is different, most people with dementia suffer from diminished capacities of some sort that can impact their independence. Here are a few of the issues that can arise:

  • Memory loss leading to confusion
