FF is right. There could be a UTI that will cause all sorts of problems and symptoms in the elderly. Her family needs to get her to tge doc for a complete work up.
Charplott, the family or whomever has the medical Power of Attorney needs to take that lady to her primary physician to see if by chance she has an urinary tract infection.... symptoms for UTI are very different in the elderly compared to someone much younger.... being very angry is one of the symptoms.
Charp, do you work for an agency? If so, let them know. If yoy work for herself you need the cooperation of her family. The authorities need to be notified that there is a person with dementia at the address. If they don't know this could cause all sorts of problems if emergency crews ever have to respond. This actually happened to a friend of mine. Police and fire responded to a 911 call to help him pick his mother up, she had fallen. Police escorted him out of the house until they were able to verify with others that Mom has dementia.
Where is this woman's family? She need to have a complete evaluation done by her doctor and perhaps some additional meds. You shoyld not be taking care of these sorts of things. These are family responsibilities.
