Hi,
My dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's nearly 4 years ago. 6 months ago he moved to a care home. He is now immobile and incontinent and has stopped eating, he just sucks a little from the spoon. He is warm and apparently comfortable, but seems now completely withdrawn. Up to last week, although he wasn't talking, you could tell he was aware of us singing and chatting in the room with him. Now he lies with his eyes closed, doesn't speak at all, doesn't open his eyes, doesn't move. I feel so sad.
