Marjorie OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 16 Karma: 0	Once the signs of dementia are noticeable, how long do seniors typically have before they don't remember family members or their own life? What can be done to slow the progress of dementia?

She lived for over 25 more years, finally ending up in a fetal position in a home for 8 years. She knew close family until probably her mid 60s, but often did foolish things that kept the family on their toes. She couldn't be left alone.

I wonder how people used to take care of their senior relatives back through history. Most of them would have died earlier, I suppose. It makes you think, doesn't it?
