Hi @marvkw I am sorry to read of your wife's condition. My name is Scott and while I'm not a medical professional, I did care for my MIL with dementia as well as work for the Alzheimer's Association. As I recall Alzheimer's and Vascular dementia, while different have many similar symptoms and somewhat similar progressions. However they do believe the causes of each may be different.

Do you have specific questions about either?

Wishing you strength, courage, and peace
