[QUOTE="Hydra6, post: 2741957, member: 125161"] My father passed about 95 - mom passed about 92 a few years before him. Father had dementia last 5 years or so and his official cause of death was listed as dementia. It is a horrible thing to watch. After my mother passed we made him come live with us but eventually we had to put him a full time memory care facility as he would get up at all times of the night and wander - he almost wandered out of house but a butterfly lock on the door was too confusing to open. Scariest thing was that there were people in that memory care facility in their 40s and 50s! You assume it is the elderly in their 80s+ but it can strike early. Insurance and medicare do not cover memory care facilities - fortunately he had savings. Eventually the patient runs out of money and then Medicaid, etc. steps in and they may become "wards of the state". [/QUOTE]
