[quote=Anonymous]One more thing-people will say blame the disease when someone is abusive, paranoid and even violent. Sure. I could argue anyone abusive, paranoid and violent has brain dysfunction even without dementia. So, you either get the person proper medication and services or you don't. People complain about some being medicated into zombies at residential facilities. My grandmother needed that to keep from being violent, racist and abusive. She could not be humane without it. Do people working at these facilities deserve physical, verbal and emotional abuse just so someone ill can go without medication? Some people need A LOT of medication to keep everyone safe. It is hard to accept and too easy to blame when you have not experienced someone like this unmedicated.[/quote]
