[quote=Anonymous]Do your best to find a psychiatrist and primary care doctor specializing in geriatric medicine. I agree the violence could be caused by dementia. He likely needs to be in assisted living in a memory care unit, but if he's on Medicaid then a nursing home may be the only option. I agree also with consulting with hospice. If his mind is gone and his quality of life is miserable, then prolonging the misery can be cruel. Does he have a living will? This situation shows why having one is so important. If he's surviving because of medication treating serious medical conditions, but has a living will stating that he would not want to continue living in this condition, then a family member with medical power of attorney could work with a hospice to consider whether there are options to discontinue treatment.
