My Brother in-law lives in Apache Junction, now part of greater Phoenix, Arizona.
He is almost completely gone to Dementia and now needs full time care.
We might have missed something going through the volumes of government listings of programs for Veterans.
Suggestions are appreciated.

Contact a psychologist and neurologist. You need to distract him, for example a hobby. Sport, growing flowers. Hard to say from here, Dementia is a bitch, make MRI, Tomography of the brain. No one here can help. Only professional help is needed.

My Grandmother has Alzheimer's . It is odd the things she remembers, doesn't remember, and thinks she remembers.
