This is after Alec Baldwin asks if they’re going for a run and Alice says yea, she just has to pee. It’s not immediately obvious until Alec Baldwin finds her and says “Let’s get you cleaned up.” As he leads her up the stairs you can see her wet pants.

Alice sets an instructional video to euthanise herself with sleeping pills if she can no longer answer a list of simple questions about her life, without informing anyone else about it.
Later in the film, when she's deteriorated too much to know better, she accidentally finds these instructions and attempts to go through with it unsuccesfully several times. She only fails because she kept forgetting the steps and dropped the pills when her nurse came home.

There are severals scenes with deliberately disorienting spinning and blurry camerawork, to represent Alice's own distress, but no shakey cam.

One of Alice's daughters is in the process of IVF during the movie, and we see the babies in the hospital shortly after the birth.

Arguably. Alzheimer's is incurable and we're shown in detail what Alice loses because of it, but considering the circumstances she's in a pretty good place at the end.
