How long does my Mother have given she has Alzheimer's/dementia, mental encephalopathy, seizures, etc?

Just wondering if anyone out there has dealt with an Alzheimer's patent with dementia, mental encephalopathy and seizures who is losing her ability to communicate. Can someone tell me how long she has to live? My guess would be 4 to 6 months but just wondering if anyone else has dealt with these many issues with their parent.

My mom has Alzheimer's dementia, and has had some seizures. No encephalopathy, at least that I am aware of. She was put on hospice when she had her first seizure. Her 1 year anniversary with hospice is next week. I think she could stick with us another couple of years, or she could go in a couple months... Who knows? Sorry I am not much help.
