Hi Eva

I would work with social service because it seems like this person is depressed

I think he needs to talk with a professional to find out if he is just depressed or getting it ready for the end

If he is really thinking about that then perhaps he should go on hospice to keep him comfortable

If he is depressed perhaps his doctor could prescribe an anti-depressant

Often people who decline cognitively get depressed

Greetings, I assisted a Gentleman who was very similar to this and we each had a copy of his favorite prayer book.

We would take turns reading sections of it.

At some point he could not read out loud so I would read and he followed along in his book.

Then recite his favorite verses.

I also used aromatherapy oil such as cedar and lavender into my hands and sweep it around him also,

To awaken his sense of scent.
