The journalist reported that the actor suffers from progressive senile dementia and will be transferred to a specialized center.
Journalist Marcelo Polino reported this Monday that the actor and comedian Antonio Gasalla suffers from progressive senile dementia and he will remain hospitalized in the Otamendi sanatorium until he is discharged, when he will be transferred to a specialized center where he receives 24-hour care.
“Antonio is hospitalized, it is not true that he is in a nursing home, he is in a clinic. They’re compensating for it, doing tests, trying to get the weight back. They put a gastric button on him, he accepted it well, so he is hospitalized, watching the evolution “, assured the journalist in the cycle “Controversy in the Bar”. In addition, he confirmed that Gasalla suffers from senile dementia and spoke about his health.
“He is not lucid, he has dementia in a fairly advanced degree. It is very complicated, and apart from the sadness,” he pointed.
On the other hand, he referred to the humorist’s family: “Taking a person under guardianship, which is now called an evaluation of mental abilities, is also tremendous for the family member. Because, as there are so many cases that people did it on purpose to keep the fortune that the family has to submit to tests, to meetings”.
He also referred to how his relatives accompany him at this time. “His nephew Fernando, who is talked about so much about his environment, about whether he took care of him or not, asked for a month’s leave and went to the clinic with him,” he recounted in television statements. There he assured that when he is discharged he will be referred to a specialized center.
“He needs special care that he cannot have at home or in a home where there are grandparents who are in good health and who are living in what are called geriatrics just because of a matter of age,” ended.
