Hi - Great question!

This is a useful feature about the 'difference' between dementia & Alzheimer's.

Here's another on the stages of Alzheimer's as it relates to caregiving guidelines.

To answer your question directly, stage 4 refers to moderate decline (mild or early stage). The Alzheimer's society provide a useful list of all the stages.

Hope this helps

Christine
