It's often said that no 2 people with dementia are the same and part of the reason for this may be that there is no fixed progression for the dementia.

When stages are accepted it is often found that people can show symptoms from more than one stage at any given time and the condition is quite fluid. My wife is very like this.

Having said that, a useful guide can be found if you click the following link

Seven Stages of Dementia | Symptoms, Progression & Durations

Learn about the stages of dementia and the scales used to measure the progression of Alzheimer’s and other dementias: the FAST, GDS and CDR scales

I hope that helps answer your question.

People with vascular dementia can often have "good" days and "bad" days, so yes it can go up and down and change. But the "bad" days come more and more often and the "good" days are less and less.
