Answers (Good luck!):
1) (Death Location) A widespread myth is that most patients with
dementia live and die in nursing homes. Many people think that as the disease
progresses, most patients go from home to hospital to a nursing home and stay
there, but dementia patients make various transitions in care, following no
definite path.
2) (Death Illnesses) People with dementia, including advanced
dementia, usually die from cancer, heart disease or pneumonia.
3) (Dementia 2nd) Dementia with Lewy bodies or Lewy
body dementia is the second most common form of dementia to affect older adults
after Azheimer’s disease.
4) (Daycare Benefits) Dementia daycare programs allow people
with dementia to continue living at home. They provide beneficial individual
and group activities and additional support services. Caregivers enjoy having
more time for themselves without worrying about loved ones’ safety and quality
of life.
