How far away is a cure for dementia do you think? I watched my grandad slowly leave from vascular dementia which was absolutely awful. My dad, who is 50 I’m sure a lot of it is just normal forgetfulness he’s always really busy working 60hour weeks but I feel like I repeat myself all the time to him a lot more than with my Mum or even my grandma. Because it’s his side of the family with it so it makes me worry. I literally can’t do this again in 20 years. You think there will be a cure or at least treatments for it?

I’m sorry but there is no current cure for dementia as it stands at the moment, only pharmaceutical aids.

On the other hand, vascular dementia is a different disease to Alzheimer's Dementia even though the clinical presentation could be similar. The latter has more treatment modalities than the former.

but it doesn't halt the progress nor reverse the cognitive deficit.

Statins look promising (especially for vascular dementia).

I am more optimistic 
It's a legally accepted cause of death ("old age" or "senility"), albeit in limited circumstances.
