Alzheimer's disease is a pretty progressive disease and usually progresses pretty quickly once the person gets the disease.

Although some people may have partial Alzheimer's disease that gets worse overtime and then they really start noticing it.

Some people who've been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease have lived for 20 years after diagnoses but most people who get diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease die within 7 to 9 years after diagnoses.

It all depends on the persons current age and other health problems but usually people will die within 9 years at most with Alzheimer's.

Living with Alzheimer's disease is not a good life anyway because you need help with everything and really do not remember anything or anybody.
