Dementia Doctor Pompton Plains Morris County NJ
For many local Pompton Plains, Pequannock Township, and Morris County, NJ people, Dementia is an issue. Dementia is a loss of cognitive functioning to the extent that it interferes with a person’s daily life and activities. Things like regular thinking, remembering, and/or reasoning are compromised.
Some people with the dementia condition cannot control their emotion, and their personality may change. Dementia ranges in severity with the most severe stage being when one becomes completely dependant on others for the most basic things, like eating. The condition affects millions of people and is much more common as people age.
