What is the difference between vascular dementia and Alzheimer's?

I am trying to figure out how to help my mother-in-law who has been with us 2 months.
I need an official diagnosis but would like more details on caregiving and what level she's at, and whether certain meds are affecting her paranoia. Need advice on psychiatric meds, etc. So do I go to appointments using HER insurance? Or go to my own psychiatrist and ask questions about her? (I don't actually have one) How do you manage these things?
And I'm afraid to say to her "you have Alzheimers so I need… read more

I think my husband is in 5 to 6. Declined more over the last few months. It is sometimes hard to tell exactly where there at and what stage.
I'm also wondering if this really is "normal" for dementia. All of my dementia information says that people with this disease will sometimes not make sense. However, he is not making sense all of the time. He's seeing things that aren't there and making up words. Just curious as to if anyone else is dealing with this or is this really out of the ordinary. Thanks!
I just agree with what my LO tries to say and say your right or I know
as a fairly new caregiver, I am reading a great deal about ALZ of course. I cant find a clear explanation of what criteria are used to determine the different stages, and what constitutes passing from one stage to the next. I read about late stage 2, etc., but dont know what that references. Any clarification or resources would be appreciated. And hugs to all of you! What a challenging heartbreaking road. thank you.
