A member asked:
The doctor says my grandad has dementia but his memory is very good. i thought memory was affected first in dementia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dementia: I would ask - how is your grandfather's shorter term memory? A person may have great recall of really old memories but not remember what was just said or the meal they just ate.
