The U.K Alzheimer's Society has one of the most comprehensive fact sheet listings I've found on
dementias. I have reproduced the list here (with a few additions when I have been aware of other useful
information web pages) so that you can quickly find answers to your questions about dementia.
Please be aware that some of the information sheets are location specific, so you should always check if the
information applies in your area by checking with local organisations.
