Sadly both of my grandmother’s spent their last years in a Nursing facility. Neither had dementia, but one suffered several strokes that affected key areas of her brain that impaired her memory, eventually she had more strokes that caused her to go into a physical decline and she ended up bedridden for a few weeks before she passed. (Both of my grandfather’s died much younger in hospitals). My other grandmother basically gave up, didn’t want food, didn’t want water, just was done with life (it was sad, but she did live to 94, and also had she outlived for her husband 25 years! I think that much time passing really affected her choice.)
