Dementia progression can be divided into four stages: Mild, moderate, severe and terminal. Although the early symptoms may differ in Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia, the progression is similar. Once the person cannot walk even with assistance and cannot communicate, he can be considered to be in the terminal stage of the illness.
