Moving someone with dementia to a different place
My Dad is living with dementia and our family has been trying to keep him in is home.
Thank you for your comment. Are you in the process of deciding whether to keep him at home or moving him to a different place? Scott AlzheimersDisease.net Team Member
I have the same question, sort of. My husband hasn't actually been diagnosed but has ALL the signs of moderate alzheimers. He refuses to go to the doctor or a hospital. I can't take the anger and aggression. I'm afraid for myself and my 25 yr old daughter who lives with us. What do I do? How do I get him help that is safe for himself and us when he doesn't think anything is wrong?
Thank you for reaching out. I think that if you are afraid for your safety and the safety of other family member, please take steps to protect yourselves. Your safety is important. I found an article that might help. https://alzheimersdisease.net/living/managing-violent-behavior It gives some resources to consider. If I felt that I was in an unsafe situation, I would get away from the danger for the sake of everyone involved. Can you talk with him and tell him that you are scared of his aggressive behaviors? Are there others who notice it? Do you have other family members who can assist you? Scott AlzheimersDisease.net Team Member
