I know someone who has Parkinsons and they have that same mouth half open stare. Sad.

My sympathies to your friend. As I said I've worked in three nursing homes. I've seen that stare, incoherent speech, yelling, talking to invisible friends and deceased family members. But I've seen smiles, joy and I have bought smiles and laughter to many residents, listened to their life stories, especially the WW2 vets. It's heart breaking at times but it's also rewarding.
