Dementia is an umbrella term for several symptoms that is related to a decline in thinking. These symptoms are, but limited too, a gradual loss of memory, loss of language skills, and the ability to perform daily routine tasks.
Now being a caregiver can really take a toll on a person physically and mentally. I think most caregivers, including myself, get into this because a family member has some form of dimentia .
I was a caregiver twice, both for family members suffering from dimentia. My grandfather had it in the late 80's, and my father had it from the late 90's until his passing in 2012.

Looking back on my experience, there is one thing that always sticks out in my mind and that is how little I knew about dementia. My main goal was keeping them clean and fed, plus doing the little things that could make their life a little better.
As the stages progressed, you feel helpless because that is when a lot of medical problems occur and because you are not informed about the disease you have no idea what to expect. I truly believe that if you are to be an effective family caregiver, then it will be important that you learn about the different symptoms so you can be somewhat educated on them when they occur.
Learning how to communicate can also be a challenge. It goes far beyond words as the disease moves along. Being able to read body language, and deciphering statements because they can no longer express themselves will take time.It will take patience because there will be several times when you will just get frustrated about the whole thing.
My goal for this particular article is to just encourage caregivers to not just join caregivers support groups, which also is very important, but get educated all you can about the different types of dementia.
