Unfortunately yes, and it can either get worse over a long space of time or an extremely short space. In vascular dementia the person has a small stroke, which causes bleeding in a part of the brain. As time moves on the person will not be able to remember who you are, and you will have to approach them as a stranger. Eventually the part of the brain that keeps organs moving will shut down, but there are ways of extending the person's life that have recently been discovered. This won't make them better or stop the strokes - it'll just extend the period of time they have left.
