What else is their to say? ... My 67 year old Uncle is starting to see shadows, people, animals, & other things that aren't there .... Its a real mind fuck spending time with him...Weird to see someone you've know for so many years start to behave like a mental patient ...

I had an Aunt who died from it. Wait until he doesn't know how to swallow and can't eat solid foods anymore. It's a sad and awful way to die.

So, how long did all that go on?...does it take years to progress..or months?

You could have taught her how to swallow.

Yes, it's difficult to watch and it can last years

My 17 yr. old mutt barks at the toaster oven and wakes up barking since he gets scared and confused. He also paces/whimpers most of the day. He has just lost his marbles but still has some joy in his life so it isn't time yet.

I have no idea if my mom has dementia because I don't care enough to call her.

She's made it clear for the past 43 years that I'm not worthy of her and that she greatly favors my brother. I should be the bigger person but she beat the caring out of me decades ago. Thanks for the concern though.

I suspect OP is just trolling, but yeah, it's a mutherfucker. The only "blessing" in it is that the victim is mostly not "hurt", at least emotionally, but the family and loved-ones have their souls put through a meat-grinder....

Lady I work with takes care of her Mom. She has shit on the floor and wiped it on the walls. She has also called the police to tell them that she keeps her like a hostage and hits her (no chance). Good thing my gene pool is so vile no one in my family will ever get that old.
