If you haven’t started looking for alternative living arrangements. Start now.
Never hurts to be prepared. Things can change very quickly.
Talk to them respectfully, but like a two year old. Ask questions. Say interesting a lot. They won’t remember the conversation long.

Be thankful he was in his mid 90s when it began. It is indeed heartbreaking.

I feel myself lucky that he has lived so long, and I have been able to live

My mom had it for a few years before she passed and this is what we eventually learned, as well. There's zero chance

You are blessed. With my FIL this began and ended in his 70s.

You are blessed. Many dads, including my own, were gone long before age 70
