Caregivers of people living with dementia say the condition changes more than just memory – it alters lives, relationships and even personalities. As more are diagnosed in their prime, experts say individuals should be on guard for symptoms and risk factors.

Dementia is hitting more ppl below d age of 65 n more. Not Oni affects yourselves but those ard u too.

It's never easy to take care of a Dementia or Mobility disability patient at home. Especially for those singles their siblings mostly like to dump their dementia/ mobility disability parent to them. Claims they've their family commitments can't take care of them. But singles also have their constrains to take care of her/him leh. Again singles not only penalize by G also their own family members. It seems like it become a default responsibility for singles to take over this duty? Life for singles really not easy.

As dementia advance, will need to spend more money than taking care of babies. All the things not cheap especially without subsidies, like thickener, nutrition drinks, healthcare equipment, diapers, hospice etc...
Yea financially n mentally. Then lifestyle also has to change n adapt.

Some singles in tis type of situations becos of family member issues. Needs to sacrifice more for own family. N some potential partner after knowing might reject them. Hence they're single.
