My Dad is 91 he got diagnosed with vascular dementia 2.5 years ago but he probably had it longer as was diagnosed with Cognitive impairment 7.5 years ago.
He lives alone and has carers go in 3 times a day and tbh has been doing ok until the last 3 weeks. He could still make a cuppa, get dressed etc now he has taken to his bed barely eating and doesnt get up even to go to the bathroom. He is hardly awake, should we prepare ourselves as the carer said he has seen this lots before. We are getting his care plan assessed and just want him to be as comfortable as possible. Anyone else in this situation and how long can we expect him to last (I know a stupid question). I just want him to go without any suffering, I am heartbroken.
