Healthcare and Medical
Dementia is a general term for a decline in cognitive function, including memory, reasoning, and communication abilities, severe enough to interfere with daily life, most commonly caused by Alzheimer's disease or vascular conditions. Caregivers, nurses, and healthcare aides develop specialized skills in dementia care, including communication techniques and behavior management, to support affected individuals. Experience with dementia care is often listed by those in caregiving, nursing, or home health aide roles.
