Yes. I'm at least like the average American. For decades I thought dementia, like Alzheimer's, was all about memory like "They don't remember who you are." Not even close! In my personal experience it's really mostly about abnormal and degenerative behaviors. It's like the brain is disintegrating in a way.
At some point they need 24/7 care to watch over everything. Most of the caregivers I have seen and know personally are truly the greatest humanitarians. I used to think I was a good person. I don't even come close to their level! They are like angels.
