Similarly, the progression of the condition can be gradual and stable or unpredictable and unstable; for this reason, finding the appropriate level of care in a suitable environment could be a considerable challenge.
Regardless of the specific condition or type of dementia, its stage or progression, appropriate care will depend primarily on physical and psychological conditions and they how affect overall wellbeing.
