Still trying to get a diagnosis but have found 'throwing myself under the bus' is giving us several weeks so far of peaceful existence. I strongly suspect vascular dementia as there is a large infarct in the right frontal lobe as per. MRI for a silent stroke. ( Didnt seem silent for me but was found at least 6 months later after he fainted)

Thank you for reaching out to us. Depending on where you live I would recommend going to your local homeless shelter and ask to speak with one of their Social Workers. They would be able to advise you of any programs available.
