What happens at the end stages of dementia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection: In severe dementia, alzheimer's, the patient becomes increasingly apathetic and withdrawn, more bed-ridden, and has increased inability to control bowel and bladder. Eventual infections arise, and most perish secondary to pneumonia.
