A member asked:
Can you tell me about post fall facility acquired dementia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a diagnosis: Falls can be caused by confusion or motor problems that occur with dementia. Falls can cause head injuries that can damage the brain and worsen dementia. Finally whenever older adults move to a different place their cognitive impairments are more obvious.
