No. After years of family lovingly caring for dementia patient they enter a stage where family can no longer care for them. If you don’t know what you are talking about then STFU!!

My wifes Mom lived with us until we put her in Elder care then Hospice. The rapid rate of decline shocked her, but not me. She lived on a diet of Ensure and air for 8 years. In the summer, she would sit outside and drink the only food she ate about 12 a day. By the time she went into care, my wife was fighting Cancer for 4 months, completely spent. When Bettie passed, I was the only one near her, I had sent my wife to see her friends 100 miles away. It was a total blessing for her. Sandy, my wife is now cancer free and approaching 66 years. Her Mom Betty, lived 95. I hate Hospice and end of life, but without it we may have had 2 deaths. God bless these people that do this.
