In response to:
The answer from AFA is excellent. I learned from that too. However I want to add that if the patient is progressing slowly with Alzheimer's without stroke or any other factor, it is usually the last stage or end stage when the patient cannot swallow.  Also swallowing problem could cause pneumonia too for these patients in the last stage. That is why they often die with pneumonia or swallowing problem in the end. Feeding tube would not be recommended as it is not comfortable.   Take care, Nina
