[quote=Anonymous]Went through this with my mother in another state. Her geriatrician recommended having her admitted to hospital to do comprehensive testing to rule out physical problems as source of aggression and, when none were found, to develop a medication plan to relieve the aggression. Sadly she ended up having to be very very heavily medicated, and even then it was difficult to find a placement. The hospital staff were our best resource for finding a facility that could accommodate people with a history of aggression; there were only 2 options within an hour of our home, and it was very expensive (7k per month).But we had no choice so she was eventually released to one of the two facilities.
