Let me guess NONE as those Alzheimer’s Dementia suffers don’t suffer from out like that DO They.

Well I can tell you they do ... my dad who as Alzheimer’s Dementia was told he had lung cancer year ago that by some mirical vanished that become concern at last hospital visits TILL ae doctor read notes THEN was not consern.

Even tho NOW as copd

Also he AS never seen repository nurse or have we been given any advice or inhalers SURLY that’s not right

Even cruel in my opinion GUESS as Alzheimer’s Dementia is set to be big part of society blf could start a trend by mentioning them forgoton about suffers

God forbid might even be able to help them by producing fact sheet

On best posture for bed bound to cut pneumonia risk.

What to look for as far as breathless infections.

And what help is available in community re management of copd AS we have all seen GPS are not really that intrested.

That is interesting reading. It is alarming how much Alzheimer's and dementia is predicted to increase. There does need to be more provision and more understanding, and more dual support for both conditions (COPD and dementia) Best wishes to you and your dad.
