Ehhh I work on a gero psych unit mainly dementia patients- once in a blue moon a patient was single their entire life, the rest are married.

Agree, work In a nursing home most dementia patients are married or windowed .. I don't think dementia discriminates against marital status

Very true! This is just my experience. I’m curious to see this study done with couples in the states.

True. But I am a nurse and most dementia patients i take care of are also married. A few widowed, but most are not lifelong singles
