Abstract– Dementia is a syndrome characterized by progressive deterioration in several cognitive domains, resulting in substantial functional impairment. Dementia is one of the most expensive and disabling diseases associated with aging, although it is frequently misdiagnosed in basic care. In the long-term care situation, dementia is a common but potentially underdiagnosed condition. Targeted screening for dementia should be standard practice, as a dementia diagnosis will help the patient’s care. The assessment of dementia should be done in stages and suited to the demands of the particular patient. Care for cognitive changes, behavioral changes, functional problems, and emotional concerns are all part of dementia management. It also includes the management of various illnesses in light of the dementia, as well as consideration of the wants and desires of the patients. Dementia management entails caring for cognitive changes, behavioral changes, functional problems, and emotional concerns. It also includes the management of other conditions in light of the dementia, consideration of the caregiver’s requirements and well-being, and a focus on advanced care planning. This all-encompassing approach to dementia treatment may reduce the disease’s morbidity and mortality rate. Along with a clear prognosis and consideration of quality of life issues, this care approach provides patients and their families with vital information and services. This review specifically examines assessment, aetiology and explores strategies for management of dementia.
