My 70 yr. old sister has Alzheimer's. One afternoon her speech became unintelligible. Words, parts of words all mixed up with no meaning. What caused this?

your sister has probably had a stroke. she needs help and treatment for that. please get her to a doctor. sudden severe changes in a person with dementia is NEVER due to dementia. it ALWAYS means a person needs expert medical help.
