For the patients with any kind of dementia, it is recommended to assess the progression of cognitive impairment at least every 3 months, given that a wide range of psychological and behavioural manifestations are presented in each patient. Therefore, it is recommended to recognise promptly the needs of the patient and family to refer the corresponding health personnel (geriatrician, neurologist, psychiatrist, neuropsychologist, nutritionist, occupational and physical therapist) to the second and third levels of care within an appropriate time frame.
