Re: General caregiving Yes it is, dorthea. Concise, yet comprehensive.

Re: General caregiving DrP,
Thanks for posting. I thought this was interesting:
"...hospice care is generally considered appropriate when a person who has end-stage Alzheimer's:
* Has lost the ability to communicate in any meaningful way
* Can no longer walk without assistance
* Has at least one dementia-related medical complication, such as aspiration pneumonia, urinary tract infection, infection or weight loss"
