I remember taking care of my father-in-law who had dementia. It was downhill fast once the falling started. He only lasted about 3 months after hitting that stage.

The same with my MIL and 3 men we knew from our church.
My sympathies to you. I lost my mother to Alzheimer’s fourteen years ago. Thankfully falling was not a concern. I’ve worked in nursing homes and hospitals. Falls are the NUMBER 1 concern given to all staff, from doctors, nurses down to a mop jockey like me. Anytime we mop floors we put “Wet Floor’’ signs
It might seem strange to people who have never worked in a nursing home or hospital but being on two feet, safe and steady is paramount.
Hmm. Interesting point there.
It will move from a “fall” to “possible blood clots”, to needs to “rest and avoid stress” (no press conferences) and then Kamala will take over.
