Maybe he could be taken in and put on a 72 hour psych hold, while you get your ducks in a row. Women's shelters have very good advice for what to do in cases of abuse, ALZ or not. There was a woman in our town who was eventually killed by her husband, who had ALZ; please don't let that happen to you! God bless...
In the meantime, perhaps you can put his medications in his food so he's getting them on a regular basis. Or see if it's okay to grind them up first so he doesn't see that he's taking a pill.
Make sure to let the doctor know that he's getting a lot worse and see what her recommendations are as well.
Wishing you the best of luck moving forward
Everybody says to call 911. That's how all this started. He drove off and the cops pulled him over and took him to the hospital. He was there for two weeks. I had a lawyer and had a petition for him to be involuntarily committed to a mental facility. It was denied. They said they would just be babysitting. He has been home with me ever since. So I'm afraid if I call 911, it will just happen again. They may not even keep him over night.

Does your husband's primary doctor know this is happening? If yes, what is the doctor doing, is he/she prescribing calming meds?
When was the last time your husband was tested for an Urinary Tract Infection? Such an infection can cause a whole array of different symptoms in us older folks, and one symptom is violence.
Here's hoping everything settles down.
