Dementia Stages
Understanding the journey with clarity, compassion, and confidence.
Every person experiences dementia differently, but most symptoms follow a general pattern.
To help families and carers prepare, we describe dementia in four clear stages.
Each stage includes guidance, care tips, music therapy, food support, safety advice, and emotional understanding.

Small changes. Subtle symptoms. Early support makes a big difference.

- Repeating questions
- Getting easily distracted
- Difficulty finding words
- Mild confusion in busy places
- Mood changes (anxiety, frustration)
Daily Care Focus
- Keep a predictable, calm routine
- Use memory aids (notes, lists, labels)
- Encourage light activity, walking, fresh air
- Offer gentle reminders without pressure
Music Therapy
