Elderly mom stage 5

Mother is going to be 86. Last year she was at 25 efrg. Now she is at 14.She has moderate dementia and had a fall 6 weeks ago and has been in hospital and rehab since. Dementia has wiped out short term memory. And is worsening. No hope there. But she is in good spirits.

She is also not able to walk around without wheelchair. There's not alot of her left.

Dr's are going to ask about dialysis. I'm power of attorney and medical proxy.

We don't want her to go thru Dialysis as it's not going to fix the dementia. She was against it when she was more in control and lucid.

Opinions?
