∙ 9y agoIn late stage Alzheimer's disease, people become extremely confused and disoriented. Eventually they lose the ability to communicate, and may not respond at all. They are unable to care for themselves. Their appetite declines, and eventually they lose the ability to swallow, leading to high risk of aspiration. Some die due to infections, pressure sores and pneumonia. This explains why more than 90% of the more than 5 million people with dementia in the U.S. are in a nursing home when they die.
