Can An Elderly Person With Dementia Travel By Air?
my mother is 86, has dementia for years now, thinking of moving her to Nevada where she can live with my wife and I. is she a good or bad candidate to fly for 4 or more hours and what life expectancy can we assume since she had heart attack last year and had two stents put in?

dear friend
if she is not aggressive and violent and otherwise in good health, her cardiac status is well compensated and is accompanied by an adult care giver aware of the medication she can very well travell by air
as regards her life expectancy
i wish we doctors were so potent that we could answer that question
its a aspect decided by an omnipotent entity called almighty and we really do not have any communication with him/her.
we do wish her a long comfortable independent life
