What are the stages of dementia? Well, that depends on which model you are using. Most physicians use the GDS or seven stage model, which we have already covered in another video. Today we will be going over the 3 stages model of dementia. Always be sure to check with your doctor as to which model they are using. The 3 stage model of dementia, as the name suggests, breaks the deterioration process into three stages:

Stage 1- Early or mild
Stage 2- Middle or moderate
Stage 3- Late or severe

It is important to note that when a person moves into the next phase in the process, they likely won’t show all the symptoms specific to that phase. People with dementia often fluctuate between phases, which can be confusing for families and caretakers.
In the early stage, the person with dementia is still independent. They may however begin to notice difficulty recalling newly learned information or a declining attention span. This person is still able to work to some degree, but coworkers may be able to notice a dip in performance. Organizational issues are also not uncommon during this stage. A common symptom of early stage dementia to look out for is the misplacing of items.
The middle stage of dementia is the longest and often the most difficult. It can last anywhere from 2 - 10 years. During the middle stage, driving may no longer be safe and generally, safety becomes a concern. Wandering is a common behavior for people in this stage of dementia. They may also have trouble initiating a task and can exhibit signs of fear, boredom, or feelings of disconnection. It may become difficult for them to read and write and language will need to be adapted to better suit them. This is when they will begin to need help with personal tasks, which may be difficult for the person to accept - leading to some troublesome and straining behaviors.
In the late stage, the person is often no longer able to communicate or has an extremely limited vocabulary. This person will likely be bedridden and require 24-hour care. As cognitive decline progresses, the person will stop being able to perform essential functions, eventually leading to death. This stage can last 1 - 2 years. During this time it is important to continue to treat the patient with dignity, even if they appear to be unresponsive.
