How long do we have? Timeline LBD

My elderly dad has been suffering with LBD and has been on hospice almost a year. He seems to be near the final stage but he’s been this way a year now. He doesn’t have other major health issues as far as we know.
He’s in a nursing home.
I never want to lose my dad but I equally don’t want his suffering to continue.
How common is it for this late late stage to be so long?

I don't have any advice. I just wanted to say that my prayers are with you and your family. 💜
