I’ve worked with many family carers over the years, and I’m asked many, many challenging questions.

One of the common questions I’m asked is ‘When will we know it’s time for nursing home care for my loved one who has dementia?’ My answer is sincere: I say” “You will know when it’s time.”

But how will you recognise this.

Well today we are going to discuss the difficult subject of nursing home care and when a person with dementia requires it.

There are 2 popular models that explain the different stages of dementia. These are:- a 3-Stage dementia model and a 7-Stage dementia model.

But before we compare these models you need to think about dementia as being on a continuum with no cognitive impairment on one end and very severe cognitive impairment on the other.

Think about these stages as fluid with the ability for some small variations within each stage rather than solid stages with a clear beginning and a clear ending.

I’m a leading voice on dementia in Australia with a Masters of Dementia and a Bachelor of Dementia Care.

Many consider me an expert in dementia, and I am often asked a very confronting question by families. How long will my loved one with dementia live for.

This may appear as a straightforward question but really there is not a straightforward answer.

Although life expectancy and dementia is a challenging topic to discuss, it is important to understand the many variables involved.

So that’s the topic of today…. ‘How long does dementia last?
