Many people get affected by dementia or Alzheimer’s disease in their old age. Almost an invariable outcome of such a disease is that they become unable to handle themselves and perform all  activities on their own, and almost invariably become dependent on others for the rest of their lives. A big percentage of such people end up either in dementia care or Alzheimer’s care. Such an outcome might not be acceptable to the senior person at all. However most families lack the expertise, or the time to take care of their senior family member who is affected by dementia or Alzheimer’s.
