There is a popular deaf nursing home outside of Columbus, Ohio that has a lot of deaf senior citizens.
Anyway I have to agree that the criteria for diagnosing dementia needs to be adhered to one's culture and language as I have meet many deaf senior citizens who were labelled, "dementia" patients--when they have no memory problems.
The sad part is that the hearing individuals that work there convinces themselves that the residents do suffer from dementia when in fact they don't.
