My mother lives with my dad, who is suffering from dementia and daily bouts of delirium. The delirium has taken a bit of a turn recently, as he’s started to get mildly physically aggressive (he’s been verbally aggressive for a while). I am not sure how much longer she can continue to care for him, and frankly, I am concerned for her safety. As he will almost certainly get worse, I don’t know what he could do… as he doesn’t know who she is a lot of the time and thinks she’s stolen stuff or is an intruder.
My parents aren’t rich, but they may just barely be able to scrape enough to afford a care home of some kind (this is in Ontario, Canada). My dad doesn’t know he has dementia (it hasn’t been officially diagnosed as he would never cooperate to get any tests done), would never admit to it, and thinks he’s fine. He will also never ever willingly go live in a care home of any kind (especially since he thinks he’s fine). He is a full-blown narcissist and has been his whole life… but his current mental situation obviously has made him the worst possible version of himself.
Are there ways, if need be, to have someone force my dad into another living situation? We can’t have any care/medical people come to my parents' home, as he won’t let any strangers in the house. I honestly have no idea how this would work, and my mom has limited time/abilities at the moment to research this herself.
Thank you so much!
