By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Do you know the type of dementia he has? The type can be very important in finding a medication that is safe for him to take.
Quite often curbing the anxiety will take care of the anger, aggression and violence.
This next part is for you. And it is important.
If at ANY time he becomes agrressive, violent and you even think your not safe you MUST leave the room, call 911 and tell the dispatcher that you are afraid for your safety.
If he is taken to the hospital you tell anyone and everyone that you are afraid for your safety and that to discharge him home is unsafe and you can not care for him.
Once his aggression is under control then discharging him to home is fine if that is what you want.
Many, make that most facilities will not accept a resident if they have had violent outbursts within a 60 to 90 day period. So getting this resolved is important for your safety as well as if in the future you have to place him in MC.
The ER may send you husband to a psych facility if it is needed, but at least he will be treated as promptly as possible.
There are medications to be certain. However, all have different side effects and many can make balance more difficult, etc.
We do not know your husband nor his history. Just know that sometimes when medications do work they don't work for a long time. The body seems to adjust around them. This is something you need ongoing qualified medical advice on. I sure wish you the very best.
This is a medical question now to discuss in depth with the doctor. I sure wish you the best of luck.
Good luck.
They called the emergency after he bit a nurse. This after incidents where he overturned a table, threw things on the floor to a name a few. He'd go out and come back, the same they did this time.
In this instance, he was back the next day.
But we really more information to give you better advice. You post says very little.
