As a former nursing home employee:

It is a decease which alters the brain, but in the later stages shows itself through lack of motor control.

Which in the end almost reverts the brain back to an ‘infant state’, where life becomes unsustainable without proper caregiving.

Lastly the basic body functions such as swallowing, breathing, moving and discarding waste (incontinence)

It is really a scary decease, and such a hard thing for the people involved
