You're right, the sort of senility one can observe in some old people and the Turq's posts nowadays surely doesn't happen to all old people. For example, I have a meditating friend who is now 94 and she's fit as a fiddle in all ways and can beat me in chess any day. For some old people escaping into oblivion is also a result of their previous wish. If you've lived in a fantasy and denial during younger years senility is simply getting what you wanted.
