June 29, 2025 What are Behavioural and Psychological symptoms of Dementia? Part 1.
Behavioural and Psychological symptoms of Dementia or BPSD, is a way of describing a broad range of non-cognitive symptoms that your loved one with dementia can display.
BPSD falls into 5 broad areas, such as Cognitive, Motor, Verbal, Emotional, and Vegetative, and according to research your loved one with dementia will experience several BPSD as their dementia progresses.
Signs of BPSD will vary greatly in both type and severity and can vary greatly on a day-by-day basis. However, there is always a reason for a behaviour… remember that… There is always a reason…
BPSD often has a significant impact on the person with dementia, you as their carer, your family, professional care staff, and has been linked to premature admission to residential care, increased hospitalisation, distress for carers and reduced functional ability for people with dementia.

June 08, 2025 Dementia and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. Part 2.
While CTE may be a novel neurodegenerative disease it does have a well recorded history.
CTE is well known about and is a neurodegenerative disease which is linked to repeated head trauma. Hall mark symptoms often include changes in behaviour and behavioural problems, problems with mood swings, and problems with thinking. This disease is progressive and becomes worse over time and CTE can result in dementia.
However, until 20 years ago CTE was believed to only effect retires boxers, but we now know that CTE can develop in people who have never put on a pair of boxing gloves.
Today we will discuss the signs and symptoms and look at in more detail the cause of CTE.

April 06, 2025 Rehabilitation in Dementia Care.
Imagine you had an illness like diabetes, an injury like a broken leg, or have just undergone surgery of some kind … you’d have access to individualised rehabilitation after the diagnosis and/or surgery….

But what about dementia?? Is there a need for Rehabilitation and Reablement support as part of a Personal Health Plan for someone with dementia?
