Welcome to the place where I share dementia tips, strategies, and information for family members caring for a loved one with any type of dementia (such as Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy Body dementia, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, etc.)

In today’s video, I talk about vascular dementia. There are many different types of dementia and vascular is the 2nd most common type of dementia after Alzheimer’s disease.

In case you haven’t met me, my name is Natali Edmonds and I am a board certified geropsychologist. That means that I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with older adults. One day, while hiking a trail, I came up with the idea for Careblazers and I decided to see if posting videos online could provide help to the many other Careblazers in the world who don’t get to have help come directly to them in their homes. I hope that this work helps you in some way on your caregiving journey.

When Olive was told she had vascular dementia, like many people, she didn’t know what that meant. But she knew it was affecting her ability to find the right words, and that people struggled to understand why. She and her husband Ronnie reflect on what the future might hold.

The different diseases that cause dementia devastate millions of families around the world in different ways. We’ve teamed up with Ricoh to lift the lid on dementia. Learn more at alzres.uk/DementiaUncovered

Vascular dementia is the second most common type of dementia. It is caused by problems with the blood supply to the brain. Nerve cells require oxygen and nutrients to survive. Without them, they will become damaged or die.

Cells are provided with these oxygen and nutrients by a network of blood vessels in the brain. When the blood supply to the brain is interrupted, for example by a sudden blockage or a leak, this is called a stroke. A stroke can cause significant damage to parts of the brain.
When the parts of the brain responsible for memory, thinking or language are damaged in this way, a person will have difficulty remembering things, thinking or speaking. These are all symptoms of vascular dementia.
