People are supposed to go to memory care units or specialist dementia care facilities.
There aren't enough of them, I agree; and I agree that a greater awareness of dementia all round, perhaps especially in elder care services, would be a good thing.
Would you like to say a little more about what difficulties your and loved one are facing?
Assisted livings are not equipped for people with problems associated with problems this causes. I think this problem can become violent. ALs have to protect their other residents. Note I say residents. These people pay a lot to live in an AL. It is their homes. There r not as many aides because residents don't need constant care. They should be able to do for themselves to a point.
