My grandfather 97 is sleeping constantly and not eating much, is this normal?

EXPERT Carol Bradley Bursack, CDSGF Jun 2012
I'm sorry, but he may be nearing the end. I'd contact his doctor unless he's in a care facility. At 97, I'd say it's "normal," but his body is shutting down. A doctor should consider if there is infection or something going on, but he may just be wearing out. It sounds like a peaceful end if that is what is happening. It doesn't hurt to check with the doctor however.
Take care,
Carol
