Dear All,
My father has dementia and does not understand what's going on so refuses to self isolate. His girlfriend who cares for him along with me is over 70 and so vulnerable but put at risk by his comings and goings. When we have tried to stop him from going out he gets angry. He refuses to wash his hands a lot or even at all. I live in Wales. He could come to us but he will refuse to stay. We feel he is a danger not only to himself but his girlfriend and others. Someone suggested we get tranquillisers from the doctor to help settle him. What do you suggest
