Have 96 yr old father in law that we've managed to keep home up till tomorrow, I think. I have a drs appointment. How do we handle the wait?

He has skin cancer on his nose and it has been breaking open and bleeding real bad, but he also has anger, dementia and gets out of control to the point we are afraid he is going to hurt himself and someone. He knows he's home most of the time, but I'm afraid he needs to be in the psych ward. Any tips on how to handle the next few days while in the process of getting him in the NH?

Sbrokefarmer-

You asked this yesterday. Are you having trouble finding your question again? (I had that problem when I first started on the site). Try clicking on the big S in the right corner and choose Activity or News Feed. You had a few answers on your previous question.

Good luck with everything. This is a very tough situation.

Has he been seen by a geriatric psychiatrist? Is he on any behavioral meds?
