Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization

The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
If you are a paid caregiver you should not take a patient where you can not handle the situation or where you may get injured. If this happens to or with a patient you have been with for a while I would think this might be a sign of decline or other underlying medical condition. (PTSD or in the case of Vascular dementia possibly a stroke or with LBD (Lewy Body Dementia) it is one of the symptoms. You can tell your manager that you feel ill equipped to handle the situation and either ask for another assignment and also ask for proper training so you can better handle it in the future. In an emergency when you feel that your safety is at stake you remove yourself from the situation, making sure the patient is safe and you call..your supervisor, family and if necessary 911
Your profile says ur caring for ur mother who has ALZ/Dementia.
I first would speak to her Dr. Maybe he can prescribe something. I feel though, once this behavior starts, they need more care than a normal person can give. If you have POA, you can have her placed in a MC if she has money or LTC paying privately or on Medicaid.
Not sure what u mean about rights. I guess ur right would be to place her somewhere safe. She has no idea what she is doing and can no longer be reasoned with.
In the moment, you have a right to avoid injury by moving out of the way, leaving the room so you cannot be hit by thrown objects, etc. and call 911 for help. You have a very limited right to restrain the person momentarily. I once wrapped my arms around my father and used my body to pin him against a wall until he calmed down to stop a physical attack on my mother. You do not have a right to use any personal restraint.
I would say that you have the right to get a assessment done of the ward's level of care needs. If you are working for an agency - that is their responsibility. I would think that this would be a liability issue - make sure you aren't physically hurt, with potentially no insurance or ability to be compensated should you become injured.
If you are a private caregiver, I would recommend that you speak with the family, or whoever hired you (assuming this person is not related to you), and ask them to get an assessment done and if possible, take a look at his medications to see if an adjustment could be made. We never want to "medicate" someone, but maybe an adjustment could be possible.
