Spouse with cognitive problems and finances

Bill just came home from his second trip to the hospital within a month. This time he had to go in for C.Diff, which he got from antibiotics he had to take the first time, the hospital or the Nursing Home. Picked him up yesterday and he threw a fit in front of the nurse, attacking daughter and myself. Same last night. Not looking forward to today (he is still sleeping). When he gets like this he wants to go live by himself and take his share of our funds. For one thing there is no way he could live by himself. He is unable to do most normal living items. He is also anemic and malnutritional as he never wants to eat - hospital couldn't get him to eat either.
Now to get him calmed down.

Hi, so sorry you and your daughter have to go through all of this! Does anyone know why or what has prompted him to get so angry and out of control?
And not eating? Sounds like a temper tantrum to me. I’m surprised you want him back home when he is so mean. You know him better than anyone else and he could come out of his angry mood the next day, not remembering what happened the day before. Nevertheless, you and Robin need to help each other find some peace amongst all of this.
