Dementia is a syndrome, especially of the elderly, characterized by multiple cognitive deficits within a stable level of consciousness.

Cognitive deficits mainly concern the orientation, memory, language, perception and judgment, attention and concentration, as well as the social skills of the individual.

This is a situation with progressive cognitive decline and concomitant disturbances of emotion, behavior and personality.

The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer's disease (70%), followed by vascular dementia (15-30%) and others.

The effects of dementia are aggravating for the individual and his family due to prolonged mental strain.

The largest number of functionally dependent individuals with dementia remains at home in the community, with the family providing most of the care.

However, the presence of mental and motoric problems, in some cases, may lead to the inability to transfer the individual to the clinic for examination.

Veresies Clinic provides home-based services for patients with dementia.
