People are all different as far as this disease goes. Usually the end stage of Alzheimers is totally dependancy on the caregiver. A lot of times the victim can't eat or swallow. There is more sleeping and at times the victim is in a fetal position. Sometimes breathing is affected.

As the diseases progresses changes in motor skills. Walking becomes more difficult, verbal communication lessens, eating habits change. They may babble when they talk, and unable to express what they want. The person may forget how to use eating utensils and other items that are used in daily life. The last stages they can no longer walk may become bedridden.

I saw several people in a hospital with it. The person cannot talk, hear, eat by himself and is totally dependent on other for hygiene and survival.

The adult's mind will deteriorate beyond any memory and mental processing, leaving them as helpless and dependent as an infant. They essentially lose even the ability to feed, clothe and care for themselves.

Usually symptoms of the end stages of Alzheimers are very similar or exactly like dementia. The patient with alzheimers may forget everyone and everything, waking up not knowing who or where they are, or why. Frustration, anger, and depression often occur as they slip away from reality.
