I think 'one brush' attitude is wrong. Some people with dementia are violent, aggressive both verbally and physically.
They may be larger than their carer and so physically not possible to care for them.
I could not have kept mum safe even with me living with her.
So for me end of story. A nursing home granted not perfect means her medications are done she is fed, warm, on average clean.
They do exercises and outings and have so much assistance for people with dementia.
Do I feel guilty I couldn't keep her at home? Yep, do I sometimes wonder if she could come home? Yep sure do.
I have a list and I read it to remind me why she cannot live at home.
