hi, i think you have had some really good advice here. just a couple of additional thoughts:
1. being sectioned is not going to be anyones favourate senario in an idea world but your dad does sound like he needs psychiatric support and if he cant access it voluntarily then being sectioned is a helpful way to do it.
2. mental health professionals suggesting your mum goes away for a few days might not seem as odd as it sounds. it will keep her safe while giving them a bit more time to assess and make sure the right decisions are made and if he needs specific interventions that they are planned. planned is always going to be easier for everyone. crisis is always more stressful and tricky.
3. you've had really good advice about your mum keeping safe if she goes home. if she was my mum i would try and convince her not too but if she was my mum she would probably ignore me!!!!
4. i wouldnt take him to A&E in a crisis. call the police they have powers to detain him for treatment if needed they would take him to a secure safe setting where he can get pyschiatric help. this is usually a seperate place to A&E.
i hope it goes ok for you.

Well made up for all of an hour as CPN contacted me to arrange visit in next 24 hours following MDT with Psych Consultant told her unfortunately I was at work but I would ring Mum to be there but if it came to him being sectioned I want to be contacted and I would leave work go straight there to be with him and send Mum away . I told her everything that I put in my initial post on here and my concern for both of them.
She made her visit said it’s my mum who needs medication and help as perhaps she has never dealt with him having CVA I’m absolutely livid I have a recording of his rants and I will be demanding appointment to see her how dare she, if that’s the help your offered no wonder they end up being taken to AED and not the appropriate assessment area I can’t articulate how mad and upset I am

Hello Worried, I’ve been thinking about you today and hoped we’d get an update from you, having read your predicament with everything. You must be so frustrated and seething with it all. Can’t understand why she came to that conclusion. Did she meet your father? Unlike others on TP, I’m not so knowledgeable but just wanted to send a hug and hope you get somewhere with it all tomorrow. Hoping your mother is still away from the house.

Oh dear.........
Im guessing that your dad was in host mode, as nice as pie, your mum didnt dare contradict anything he said and the CPN believed everything he said.

Its a pity that you couldnt be there, but yes, get to see the CPN and play the recording to her

Edit to say that i do hope your mum is not staying there - he could turn on a sixpence.

sounds like the CPN is making judgements based on assessment of what your dad and mum are saying. they've landed on: the situation is managable but your mum is struggling to manage. they probably need to understand the situation better definately play them the recording. i would talk with them about how they feel medication will help keep your mum safe from escalting agression (it wont). i think you said he was violent before he had dementia if i am right they need to know that and also clear examples of how behaviour has escalated in recent days and why your family is scared (passed behaviour is one of the best predictors of future behaviour). they still might not think he needs to be sectioned but if not they should be considering how to provide support in the home that addresses the behaviour. Or they should be able to provide a rational for their thinking that makes your family comfortable with the outcome (i.e. that it meets your needs).
if there is annother emergency incident where your dad is agressive and threaterning your mum with violence call the police they have powers to detain under a section if needed or they might support you going to A&E if they think thats best. A&E is probably the wrong place for him if he is having a psychotic episode that includes violent and threaterning behaviour. Police can access the same support as A&E.
This is a very factual responce, i too dont find this a very easy format to convay emotion but i hope you are getting a sese of that regardless.
Hope it goes well will be holding you in mind today L

Hello @Worriedsick44 Your frustration levels must be through the roof - I would be screaming/seething.

Stick to the plan - YOU know how things really are. (I don't see how medicating your mother will protect her from your father!)

Keep your mum safe and away from the situation. Next time your dad starts on a serious rant, just call the police. They can/will act.

I really feel for you - stay strong and you will get things sorted.
