There’s no one thing that causes vascular dementia, but there are lots of different things that increase a person’s chances of developing the condition. These are called ‘risk factors’.

This graphic shows a few of the most common risk factors for vascular dementia. This type of dementia is caused by reduced blood flow to the brain, so some conditions that affect your heart and brain may also increase your risk of developing vascular dementia.

Some of these risk factors, like ageing, can’t be changed, but others can be avoided through lifestyle choices.

Things you can do to reduce your risk of developing vascular dementia, and other types of dementia, include keeping active, eating healthily and exercising your mind.

And if you’re worried about yourself or someone else - we’re here for you. Just give our Dementia Support Line a call on 0333 150 3456.

Dementia looks different for everyone, and symptoms will also be different depending on what kind of dementia someone has.

Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies are four of the most common forms of dementia, and they can all affect people differently. This is our guide to a few of the most common symptoms for each illness.

By knowing the signs, we can make sure that we don’t brush off or ignore some of these lesser-known symptoms, to help everyone with dementia get a crucial early diagnosis.

Save this post for later, and if you’d like more info visit our website or give our Dementia Support Line a call on 0333 150 3456.

The heatwave is here 🔥

For many, it’s time to get outside and enjoy those gardens, parks and outdoor spaces for many. But the hot weather can cause discomfort and a risk of dehydration for people living with dementia.

Here are a few things that can help:

☀️ Make sure the person is dressed appropriately. Try light-coloured, loose-fitting clothes made from natural fibres.

☀️ Keep the house as cool as possible. Keep curtains or blinds closed during the day - especially in south-facing rooms. In the evening, open the windows to let the warm air out and the colder air in.

☀️ Avoid the midday sun. Stay out of the sun during the hottest part of the day (between 11am and 3pm). Seek out plenty of shade and reapply sunscreen regularly when out.

☀️ Find ways to cool off. Help them take a cool bath or shower. Place a washcloth and some iced water nearby to dab themselves with.

☀️ Stay hydrated. Leave beakers or jugs of water within easy reach. Provide high water content foods like ice lollies, jelly, ice cream, soup and fruit such as melon

☀️ Ask friends and neighbours to pop in and check the person is ok. If you don’t live near the person, they could stay and have a drink with the person and make sure they have everything they need.
