I lost a Great Uncle to dementia 2 yrs ago. Our family did everything within our power to control and contain him. Six months before he passed, we ended up having to move him 2 hrs from our community for the safety of everyone. Before we moved him, he assaulted 3 police officers, including throwing a female officer across his room, broke his arm and ended up being tasered, all because someone moved his socks.
BTW he was 83 when passed away and weighed less than 90lbs.
