Joan, my father had frontal lobe dementia, he slept a lot at the end. But the end meaning months. I don't know about alzheimer's. Are you doing ok? We're here.

I am not personally experienced with Alzheimer. I noted your situation on another post see if any one else can help...

You sound very scared and alone there. Is there an on call nurse you could call, or maybe every a nursing home would have an idea who you could call? Is he on medication, it may wipe him out.

I AM ALONE WITH HIM BUT MY TWO SONS ARE IN AND OUT EVERY DAY. THIS JUST STARTED TO HAPPEN THIS WEEK. I GET HIM UP AND DRESSED AND GIVE HIM HIS MEDS. AND A BREAKFAST DRINK AND HE WENT BACK TO SLEEP IN HIS CHAIR. HE SPENT MOST OF THE DAY SLEEPING. I FED HIM HIS EVENING MEAL AND SAT HIM ON SOFA AND HE FELL INTO A SLEEP AGAIN.

It can be. Are you alone? Is he at home? Are you in contact with his doctor or Hospice. It may be days yet still. but my grandma slept more and more towards the end...
