My darling Dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's at the age of 76. He slowly got worse with his movements and speech. Poor Mother couldn't cope as she had her own health issues. It was decided to have him in a nursing home, where he got the best treatment, although he hated being there. We all thought my Dad would pass on before Mother but no, she had a fall in a supermarket and died 6 months later before the court case came up because of the supermarket's fault in not cleaning up the floor. Darling Father died 6 months later.
