Hi,
I'm new to this but I've been dealing with my 61 year old Dad's diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer's for well over 6 yrs. He was living in a great residential home for 5yrs until he deteriorated beyond what they could care for. He then spent 9 months in mental health units because as he's deteriorating his behavior is becoming more challenging (punching patients and staff). I'm currently stuck because I'm told he should now be in a nursing home but no nursing homes will take him because of this behavior and his age. Does anyone have any experience of this and have any recommendations, particularly in the south, of places that would take him?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you
