[quote=Anonymous]You’ve gotten some good advice above. I would make sure she has been checked for reversible causes of dementia: TSH, B12 mostly. In answer to your question, dementia tends to progress at the rate it has already progressed. Sounds like hers is slowly progressive so will likely continue to be. People don’t die from f dementia they die of complications: falls, aspiration leading to pneumonia, urosepsis. Or they might develop something else that kills them first: heart attack, stroke, cancer for example.[/quote]
