No I do not think so. Dementia and Alzheimer's is more similar.
There is no evidence that Post Polis Syndrome can cause dementia, but PPS sufferers' can develop dementia which is non-related to PPS, such as Alzheimers' Disease.
Not exactly. Alzheimer's is one form of Dementia, but there are others.

Delusions in the elderly can be caused by various factors, including dementia, Alzheimer's disease, medication side effects, sensory impairments, alcohol or drug use, infections, or underlying mental health conditions.

No, most won't. There are actually three divisions of senior day care: social, health-focused, and dementia-related. You'll need to put an adult with dementia in a day care center specifically for dementia patients. Someone who has severe Alzheimers needs constant monitoring, while the milder symptoms might make a person just slightly confused. If the symptoms are severe only specialized day care won't be equipped to handle it.
You can find some options regarding different dementia treatments here: http://www.webmd.com/alzheimers/tc/dementia-treatment-overview Be sure to read it thoroughly though, as there are different stages of dementia and different causes. I recommend consulting a doctor.
