In (Norwegian, and I believe in all/most countries) medical terminology, 'senile' by itself means nothing but 'of old age'. For definition purposes, they drew the line at 60 years: From that age, you are senile. You have a higher likelyhood of catching a number of diseases and other medical conditions, including dementia, but not that you are actually suffering from all of these old-age problems.

In everyday Norwegian talk, 'senile dementia' has been shortened down to 'senile', which is misleading. The medical establishment always refer to 'dementia', which may also occur before you turn 60. 'Old age dementia' can be referred to as 'senile dementia', but lots of doctors try to avoid that term, to try to move people over to use the medically correct term for the mental disorder(s), dementia. I believe the same is the case in English.

Hospitals have child wards for your patients, and senile wards for patients of old age. 'Child' says nothing about the medical condition, nor does 'senile'. You may find patients with lots of different plagues in the child ward, and the same holds for the senile ward. Of course: Dementia is more prominent in the senile ward than in the child ward - and so is a lot of other plagues. That is why they (sometimes) have a separate senile ward, with special competence in handling those old-age, senile, related health problems.
