    A booklet about the progression of dementia and how you can prepare for it.

    This is a link to a PDF document published by the University of Western Sydney Australia in 2006. Although it was written back in 2006 however, it has not dated at all. It may be distressing to read but, it is very informative. One criticism of it though is that in several areas it refers to certain symptoms as being symptoms of 'end-stage' dementia, however from our experience these various symptoms can arise even early on in the disease.
