Alzheimer’s is a form of dementia, typically targeting memory. I had an aunt with it, she lived at home for years, went on vacations with her husband. He took care of her untill she didn’t remember him anymore, it was too hard for him after.
Dementia is a general term for brain disease or injury that reduces mental function, usually diagnosed after two or more functions are impaired, such as judgement and motor skills.
