Alzheimer’s dementia was discovered in the vocalist of “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” in 2016, which at first was not widely known. The musician passed away at his cherished New York apartment, which also served as his studio and the location of his final interview.
After receiving an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, his wife Susan Benedetto served as his primary carer during his final years on earth. She described her husband’s doubts about his prognosis. “He would ask me, ‘What is Alzheimer’s?'” she recalled of a conversation they once had. I’d try to explain, but he’d never comprehend it. I feel fine, Susan,” he would say. Physically, he felt terrific, but that was all he could process.

Because of his good physical health, he continued to function well even after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Even though he made a few minor errors, like forgetting a few words, the singer maintained a cheerful attitude while making the album and even collaborated on an album with Lady Gaga.
He spent much of the last few years at his beautiful flat. The singer’s residence was on the 15th floor of a skyscraper with a view of Central Park. There were three bedrooms, a sizable kitchen where Bennett was renowned for cooking, a decked-out entertainment room, an office, baths, and other amenities in the living area.
Huge windows all over the walls allow natural light to enter and illuminate the space. The windows also made it possible for the late singer and songwriter to never have to leave his home to take in a vista of the park or the New York skyline.
One of the bedrooms was also turned into a recording studio by the singer. The Grammy-winning vocalist eventually turned the studio into a haven. He kept his sketches up on the walls while leaving paintbrushes, paint tubes, and other creative tools lying around the studio.
The singer revealed to the New York Times in 2015 that he also loved to paint. He displayed a sizable easel next to a stunning window with a view of Central Park. You have wildlife here instead of buildings, he remarked. Nothing is more potent than that.
The artist enjoyed cooking in his kitchen as well. He frequently shared glimpses of his time in the kitchen as he cooked on his social media, which showcased the room’s soft yellow walls, oak cabinets, and a sizable dining table.

Large white couches, panel wood flooring, and a floor to ceiling mirror were all features of the singer’s living room. The black grand piano in the living room, which Bennett was renowned for playing for hours on end, was of course the room’s centre of attention.
The musician hid the news that he had Alzheimer’s. When he told his fans, at the age of 94, that he had had the illness for four years but had chosen to remain quiet about it at the time of his original diagnosis in 2016 private.

When someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, their speech typically suffers along with their memory loss. Fortunately, Bennett’s symptoms were minor.
At the time, Bennett, who was 94, and his family disclosed that he had had Alzheimer’s disease for four years but had chosen to remain silent about it ever since his original diagnosis in 2016. He wrote on Twitter in February 2021: “Life is a gift – even with Alzheimer’s.”
Bennett praised Susan Benedetto, his wife, for taking care of him following his illness. When he first met Benedetto, she was in her 20s and he was in his 60s. Twenty years later, the couple were married.
Because of her mother, who adored the late singer’s beautiful voice, Susan was a huge lover of Bennett’s music. Bennett’s wife opted not to keep their help when the Covid-19 outbreak struck, which further increased the singer’s reliance on his wife to take care of him.
In an effort to reduce Bennett’s chance of contracting the virus, she made an effort to limit the amount of persons who came into contact with him.
