It's hard to determine stages with someone with dementia because as the saying goes...."if you've seen one person with dementia, you've seen just one person with dementia." Everyone will be as different as the type of dementia that they have, and there are hundreds. You will know when your loved one has taken a step down, and when they have plateaued for a while, and no 2 cases are ever the same. Some dementias are very aggressive with life expectancies of just 5-7 years while others can go on for 20+ years.
