Get dad to a doctor. You need to document that you are doing due diligence in his cares, especially if mom is not doing so. Most family practice doctors have "some" training in psychology...and can also see the whole sociological situation, with one spouse having dementia, and the other quite elderly--it doesn't take a brain surgeon to see, this is not a good recipe!!! Dad may or may not need SSRI and/or hospice..mm but DEFINITELY, mom needs an honorable release from dealing with dad. And so do the cchildren. Have him placed in some type of facility--mom can always go visit, even stay overnite if she likes, and so can the kids. But nobody ever EVER has to give up their sanity and livelihoods to deal with a dementia patient.
