Dad has had such a speedy decline this week
Went to visit him yesterday in the NH and was told he keeps trying to sleep on the floor.
Also his hands have closed(fingers to fingers) so that he has real difficulty holding anything. He had a bowl of cereal in front of him and they only way he could eat it was to wedge the bowl in-between his hands and tip it into his mouth.So most of it seemed to go down him.
Also he does not seem to be able to hold any sort of conversation, just seems to say the odd words now and again.
We were also told that he is sleeping more and more.
I am unsure about the stages of dementia but does this sound like he may be entering the final stages of dementia?
I felt so distressed after seeing hime this weekend
