Hi everyone. I am noticing my mom, who was diagnosed 7 years ago with Alzheimer's, is sleeping for up to 17 hours a day now. She still can eat so swallowing isn't an issue. She is advanced but when a patient sleeps for this many hours, is that a sign that she is taking a turn for the worst, or can this go on for years? Last year, she definitely was awake for more hours. Thanks!

Perhaps it might be time to get hospice involved. Again, her Dr can tell you if he/she thinks it's time for that. Wishing you the best.
