How long does stage 7 of Alzheimer's last? An overview for caregivers

The final stage of Alzheimer's, or stage 7 dementia, is a difficult and unpredictable period for both the patient and their loved ones. A person can live in stage 7 of Alzheimer's for a period that typically ranges from 1.5 to 2.5 years, though this can vary significantly depending on individual factors. The unpredictable nature of dementia's progression means some people may live longer, while others experience a more rapid decline.
