How Can Vascular Dementia Be Treated?
My husband had a stroke 6 years ago. Now doctors are saying he has vascular dementia and probably having smaller strokes which is causing his brain function to deteriorate. We live alone and I m afraid he may have another big one. He is physically fit but his mental state makes it challenging to live with. How long before i can expect another big stroke? Should i continue to try and care for him at home?

Hello,
As per above information, I would advise him to start on cholinesterase inhibitors like Donepezil to combat his fermenting features.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
