Are we providing option of palliative care to people suffering from #AdvancedDementia?
We don't expect the dementia to reverse, however, we can work on improving Quality of life of those who can't communicate for themselves. #Alzheimers@ompsychiatrist@dr_samirparikh
The average life expectancy is around a year in advanced stages which get further reduced to weeks if they suffer from pneumonia/infections/ stroke/swallowing problems/cachexia/dehydration.
We need work on ⬇️their suffering and let them have dignity in last stages of life.
