Dementia patient all of sudden starts being angry at one person?

@robertwills What I have seen with anger episodes, is that the person may be feeling anxious or afraid of something. You are the object of her anger because she feels safe with you. (I keep saying ‘she’ and ‘her’
Because I think this is your spouse.)
https://www.myalzteam.com/resources/symptoms-of-alzheimers? I think this information may be helpful as it discusses the stages of Alzheimer’s.
This Mayo Clinic’s way has new information all the time. It may be useful for you.

Thanks. What I will say is the Alzheimer's patient is only directing the anger at one particular person. A person who visits almost every day. They are not angry at all with other residents, aides or other family members. There was absolutely no incidents between the two people to cause it. As Indicated above it was totally unexpected and just happened.
