My brother started slipping his gears in his '80s. It was sad to see someone who had retired as a VP of Morton Thiokol restricted form crossing the street lest he get lost. Even before he got really bad we took a walk in the chaparral behind his house and I realized at one point he didn't know where he was and which trail to take. I hadn't been paying attention but was wearing shoes with a distinctive tread so I could backtrack and find the shortest path since he was also very fatigued. I broke a hip a few years ago and spent some time in the rehab wing of a nursing home. I saw the future and want no part of it and that wasn't even the residents of the restricted 'memory wing'.
