"Multi-Infarct Dementia" means the brain has sustained many or numerous (multi) injuries, generally through Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIAs) or Strokes, which has produced dementia. It basically means many areas of the brain have small or even tiny areas that cannot transmit nerve signals and cannot function.

An outline of the social model of dementia can be described as the inability to interact in the community with others because of such a disability. However, through adequate services and support, the lives of dementia patients can be somewhat improved as more opportunities are open to them.

Individuals who have dementia are not aware of requirements for living. It start affecting there everyday life and also have memory loss and forget to do the essential things that are vital. Taking medicines, hygiene and even eating are often forgotten Turning on the stove or water and forgetting to turn it off, locking doors, crossing streets etc..
