Agree! Worked with dementia patients, they decline when not interacted with positively. Even just simple things like talking to them about happy things helps. All anecdote but it seems people declined quickly without those everyday positive interactions.

Agreed 100%. Everyone needs some positive interactions in life otherwise we all decline. My grandma this past weekend simply lost the will to keep living in her state and committed suicide. She hadn’t been happy with her health for a time as she required constant care and decided to end it.
