Partner’s Legs Won’t Respond — Is This Common in Later Stages?

My partner is in a later stage of Alzheimer’s, and over the past few weeks, their ability to move has drastically declined. They used to be able to stand with some help, but now it’s like the brain isn’t sending the message to the legs anymore. No injury, just a complete lack of response.

This has made daily care really challenging—especially with dressing, changing, and moving them between bed and chair. I’ve been researching ways to make things more manageable and wondering if there are tools others have found helpful at home.

Has anyone else gone through this? How did you adapt when mobility suddenly disappeared? I’d appreciate any advice or insights on what’s worked for you.
