[QUOTE=Orkel;51846886]My grandmother and grandfather both have advanced dementia/alzheimers and they sometimes sit on the couch with a thousand yard stare, and barely respond when talked to. Just sitting like that, staring into space, for a long time. Makes you wonder what they are thinking about, if they are. I can imagine that if these kind of elderly lived alone, they would end up like the woman in the article.[/QUOTE]
My manager's mother has Alzheimers and he frequently talks about his experiences with it. She calls him in the early hours for various reasons, multiple times per night, as she's gotten confused about something.
Personally I've got first hand experience of dementia and it's not something I'd wish on my worst enemy.
