The majority of my dementia pt.s (hospice nurse) are mostly healthy otherwise.

Dementia pt’s usually die of aspiration pneumonia after they lose the ability to swallow their food/drink.

My wife and I are primary caregivers to five elderly relatives. They are aged 76 to 94. We have had experience with hospice several times. You are Gods hands on earth. Thanks for what you do.
