Two of my four grandparents lived into their late 90's but neither were mentally there for the last 10 years or so. The body was willing, the mind was not. My parents were healthy as a horse into their mid 70s. Dad still is, Mom got liver cancer and if not for being so damn healthy otherwise would never have lasted as long as she did. Do your best but a lot of it is a crap shoot after 70.
