[quote=Anonymous]Has he been tested for UTI? It is incredibly common in older men and can mimic or worsen dementia. Where my dad was, their standard practice is to always test for UTIs with behavioral issues, but the social worker said a lot of places don't. She said people will be diagnosed with dementia or that their dementia is worsening, even put in psych wards, and it's really a UTI. Won't solve all your problems but may help with the more erratic behavior. They can't push you to give him enough drugs to basically make him comatose so this is their way.[/quote]
