Early onset dementia affects around 42,000 people in the UK, yet it’s often overlooked. Symptoms, though rare, can appear in individuals as young as 20, but many dismiss them due to dementia’s association with old age.
Despite the availability of dementia care services, younger individuals with dementia may struggle to find appropriate care.
At AGA Healthcare Ltd, we believe everyone, regardless of age, deserves tailored care. Discover how specialized treatments can help those with early-onset dementia.

What is Early Onset Dementia Care?
Early onset dementia care is a form of dementia care that is intended to be provided to younger people experiencing symptoms of dementia.
Unlike other forms of dementia care, early onset dementia care is developed specifically to accommodate for the needs of people between the ages of 30 and 65 years old.
For extreme conditions, there are early onset dementia care homes that are well-equipped to deal with the multitude of complications that can arise following as a result of early onset dementia.
Who is Early Onset Dementia Care For?
Treating early onset dementia promptly is crucial for those diagnosed. This specialized care is tailored for younger individuals displaying initial symptoms of the condition.
Similar to other forms of dementia, early onset dementia currently has no cure. While conditions like frontotemporal dementia are more prevalent in younger individuals, anyone with dementia can experience various types of the condition.
Memory Loss
While we all forget things from time to time, a persistent amount of forgetfulness could be a sign of early onset dementia. A care service can help ensure a person is reminded to take medicine, bathes, locks the front door at night, or eats three meals a day.
Mood Swings
Rapid changes in mood or behaviour can sometimes be indicative of early onset dementia. For people who can no longer carry out daily tasks they once did, and get emotional over this fact, carers can provide assistance, as well as a friendly face to talk to.
Families and Friends
Absolutely, early onset dementia impacts not only the individuals diagnosed but also their families and friends. Coping with such a diagnosis can be incredibly challenging, and therapy and counseling can play a crucial role in helping to manage emotions and provide support.
If you or someone you know is struggling to come to terms with a diagnosis of early onset dementia, seeking therapy or counseling can be beneficial in processing emotions, learning coping strategies, and finding support networks.
