If this truly pans out you will need to ask your doctor for specific dementia amelioration protocols. In fact you better ask right now because they need to be created and I bet that will take years. In the meantime I'll be hoping my list will help me out.
Dementia prevention 19 ways
Do not follow my ideas, they are not vetted by any medical team.

No methods currently exist for the early detection of Alzheimer’s
disease, which affects one out of nine people over the age of 65. Now,
an interdisciplinary team of Northwestern University scientists and
engineers has developed a noninvasive MRI approach that can detect the
disease in a living animal. And it can do so at the earliest stages of
the disease, well before typical Alzheimer’s symptoms appear.
Led by neuroscientist William L. Klein and materials scientist
Vinayak P. Dravid, the research team developed an MRI (magnetic
resonance imaging) probe that pairs a magnetic nanostructure (MNS) with
an antibody that seeks out the amyloid beta brain toxins responsible for
onset of the disease. The accumulated toxins, because of the associated
magnetic nanostructures, show up as dark areas in MRI scans of the
brain.
This ability to detect the molecular toxins may one day enable
scientists to both spot trouble early and better design drugs or
therapies to combat and monitor the disease. And, while not the focus of
the study, early evidence suggests the MRI probe improves memory, too,
by binding to the toxins to render them “handcuffed” to do further
damage.
