Dad has had dementia 14 years, he's been in a Nursing Home for 4, 3 weeks ago he was admitted to hospital and ended up with pneumonia in there, we were actually told he was going to pass overnight but 3 weeks later, he's back in his nursing home but just asleep the whole time, he becomes semi conscious at meal times and eats a little but that's it, although he's over the pneumonia, he's far less responsive now, he literally can't move a muscle in his body anymore and is in bed the whole time. I feel guilty because I want him to give up, he would hate to be this way and it's tough on my 85 year old Mum too.
Does this sound like he's near the end? I haven't seen him awake for a week now. Thank you
