I suppose the first question on the table is - does a diagnosis of "dementia" mean "Alzheimer's"? The answer to that is, not always. "Many disorders, some curable, can cause dementia."
I know there's a diagnosis of dementia, but (I'm ashamed to say) I don't know if there's a differential diagnosis on the type of dementia. Fortunately - and spurned by the yard wandering last week - there's a neurologist appointment today. I'll send this question in to the appointment with Mom & Ethel.
