When someone is dying in the end stages of dementia like Alzheimer’s Disease or Vascular dementia or Lewy Body dementia or any other, sometimes we are give a very special gift in a brief moment of lucidity. While it doesn’t always happen I do see it a lot. Look for it. Hold onto it. And use it as an opportunity to say the most important thing you want them to know. #hospicenurse #palliativecare #death #alzheimer #alzheimersawareness #alzheimersdisease #dementia #dementiaawareness #endoflife #luc

The dying person with dementia (of any form) can oftentimes look rather the same from day to day even in the advanced or end stages of the disease. (Yes, dementia is considered a terminal disease). This is one of the big things I look out for to know the person with dementia is nearing their death. #dementia #dementiaawareness #dementiacare #dementiacaregiver #alzheimer #alzheimers #alzheimersdisease #alzheimersassociation #parkinsons #parkinsonsdisease #lewybodydementia #vasculardementia #front
