My father has had it for 10 years, progressed pretty slowly the first 6-7 years but the last 2 have been worrisome. Like has been said, patience, never correct, often play a long with what they are saying, be warm, make jokes, even laughter when they are confused helps.
Its one of the most difficult things to watch someone you love slowly fade away like this, its not easy ever, but you get used to it to a degree, just make sure you never think "oh I don't have to visit as often cause he'll forget I was even there."
Make frequent visits, I know its tough, but those moments with family mean a lot in the moment.
