I'm sorry to answer a question with a question, but why do you ask?
Dementia is a very, very broad term - what sort of dementia? Mid-level, therefore, won't mean anything as a description until you've narrowed down what sort of dementia you want to know about.
If you'd like to say a little more about your situation, I'm sure that lots of forum members will be able to help.
