Should A Feeding Tube Be Used For Someone In Advanced Stages Of Dementia?
I have a loved one in advanced stages of dementia who is unable to feed herself or swallow well. My family has been talking about the possibility of a feeding tube. On one hand, we don’t want her to suffer the pain of starvation. On the other, it would be hard to watch her just laying there in bed with no quality of life, utter boredom, and continued pain that she may or may not be able to express. Is there any additional information out there that would help us come to a decision?
