My father has dementia and Parkinson since 1 year he has beens bed ridden. He can no longer 1. feed himself 2. hold anything 3. turn himself. and relies on me for all movement . Now for the last 2 days he is unable to swallow when given his usual puree foods and thickened liquids. He is able to chew but can't swallow and ends up coughing everything up.
Hospice sounds like a good idea.
