End-of-Life Parkinson’s and How Dementia is Related

In this video, I delve into the realities of how Parkinson's disease leads to death and its connection with dementia. While Parkinson's and dementia are distinct diseases, nearly 80% of Parkinson's patients develop dementia in the advanced stages. I discuss common misconceptions, such as the belief that patients "starve to death," and clarify what actually happens during the end-of-life stages. We'll explore the symptoms, risks, and how you can support your loved ones to ensure they are clean, safe, and comfortable. If you have questions or need guidance, don't hesitate to reach out to your hospice team or healthcare provider. When dealing with any medically related events or medical emergencies, please communicate with your primary health care provider.
