[quote=Anonymous]I hate to say this, but look into hospice care. Hospice will cease life saving or maintenance meds, cancel interventions like physical therapy. My father (with Primary Progressive Aphasia) languished in skilled nursing for four long years; my mother insisted that he get PT, get his BP and cholesterol meds, speech therapy, dental care (broke a tooth and took him to the dentist), be wheeled into every single care meeting and social or religious event …all why he was unable to communicate. He coded maybe 6 months in my mom insisted upon full resuscitation - only to come back and my mom decided he was going to live forever. Once my sibling and I involved hospice and got our mom onboard, he lived maybe 4 months and died rather peacefully. It was merciful - he really suffered (was “locked in”) for almost a decade.
