Most of the people who do are in old age homes by that time and wish they could die.

Or are completely unaware. A good chunk seem to be miserable or so far gone they seem to be stuck in some 'golden period' from the past.

I remember when our neighbor (not direct, on house between us) walked into our house when I was a kid just flipping out. Swearing her husband was dead. He wasn't. He came to get her.

At that point she had more good days than days like that, and honestly I think the rare occurrence only happened at night (and not every night if course, again was rare at that point but that wasn't the first time she thought that apparently). But yeah scared the hell out of me.

But my great grandparents made it to like 93 ish, and they seemed pretty alright up to the end. Lived in their own place and everything. Family visited, but none were really there needing to take care of them really. Exception to the rule, I know. Most seem to fall in the first mentioned states.
