Hello Ari

welcome to TP.

In your situation I think it is best to take things one step at a time.

You say your brother has only just been diagnosed, yet has been in a mental hopital for three years.

Do you know the basis on which he was taken into the hospital? Is it directly related to his dementia? If you don't know then that is the first thing to try and find out.

Are you his next of kin?
