Concerned caregivers are sometimes afraid to consider medication, but the fact is, unless a person is need is compliant, no matter what the care circumstances, it can quickly become very very difficult to come up with a successful behavior management plan.
If you have access to a behavioral specialist (psychiatrist/psychologist/neurologist) WITH GERIATRIC EXPERTISE you will have a chance to work with them to offer small doses of medication(s) and monitor behaviors to allow your LO to become more compliant and less hostile.
