Dementia care is the overall care and support provided to individuals who have been diagnosed with dementia, a general term for a decline in cognitive ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. This includes memory loss, difficulty communicating, changes in mood or behavior, and problems with daily activities. Dementia care may include medical treatment for the underlying condition, as well as assistance with daily living activities, such as bathing, dressing, and eating. It also may include providing a safe and comfortable environment, recreational activities, and emotional support for both the individual with dementia and their family caregivers.

There are different levels of care for people with dementia, including at-home care, day care, respite care, and residential care.
At-home care can be provided by family members, friends or paid caregivers, providing assistance with activities of daily living and keeping them company.
day care centers are specifically designed for people with dementia, where they can participate in activities and receive care and support.
Respite care is short-term stay in a care facility for the individual with dementia, allowing the primary caregiver to take a break.
Residential care is for people with dementia who require a higher level of care and 24-hour supervision.

Effective dementia care also includes providing appropriate stimulation, creating a safe and secure environment, and promoting independence and self-esteem as much as possible. This is especially important for people with dementia as it can help to slow down the progression of the disease and improve quality of life.
