This one is hard…how to take care of people with dementia.
Spot on. I personally know of 3 instances of this happening to or by people I had known for years.
My best friends mother was thrown out of her chair twice by a male patient in an elderly care center.
My dad took a swing at my sister when suffering an episode. It was directly related to drug interaction from his prescription medications prescribed from 3 different Doctors who were treating him. My sister gathered up all his meds (over 15 if I recall)and dropped them on his GP desk for review. After ditching 8 or nine Dad was back to being Dad.
My Wife's uncle, an Alzheimer suffer was thrown out of 2 care centers for violent behavior. The man was the most even tempered and kind man I had ever known before that insidious disease took him over.
When my time comes I just want to die at home. Too bad you never can tell what cards life will deal you.
