@sr5367sh , there are legal options for situations like that. An elder law attorney should be able to explain them. Most people who have dementia are not self aware. They don’t communicate well and may act out behaviorally. Often Memory Care secure units are trained to manage that kind of behavior. That’s why an assessment can be helpful. In the assessment they don’t just go by what the patient says, but the caregivers and family members. They provide the real picture of what’s happening.
