How Long Do People With Stage 6 And 7 Dementia Live?
My wife is 67 years old healthy and in early stage 6 od dementia. How long do most people live for stages 6 and 7. I realize that it is hard to accurately predict - every case is different. I am looking for data that provides percentages for the most likelihood for a given number of years. Dan

Hi, patients with stage 6 and stage 7 dementia can live as long as they receive good help and nursing care.
The percentage for survival can not be told.
Thanks
