Having someone committed? - dementia evaluation
I need help ASAP! I need information on which they are collected for a psychiatric examination.
A summary of the situation is that I have a grandfather of 82 years that we suffer from the assumption that Alzheimer's or dementia, but refuses to help or even see a doctor, and believes that everyone tries to believe that he is crazy.
He seems to be gradually implemented for several years and has in the past 6 months is out of control. He refuses to go anywhere to see a doctor or a hospital and was abusive to my grandmother, who recently broke her hip (I think it is in this fall).
The Sheriff's Department are seeing, it was several B / C, he threatened to put my grandmother swears like a sailor, he breaks things and people that debt is not there, and people. Mental illness is also on the side of the family. His father was committed at an early age, her sister suffered from schizophrenia, and his brother was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
SheriffThat is the answer to the call, but refuse to do something, but that was pushed down. I think it has something to do with the laws here in Ohio.
But once we brought my grandmother back home hoping he would stay, but she always returns to what would be almost like an abused woman in a similar situation, hoping that something does not work.
But I need help on what to do family, his power to make an assessment. The family is perplexed and can not find help, where it is displayed.
We got in touch with local hospitals, police and our local association of Alzheimer's disease. Where do we go before he hurts someone or himself?

For a formal commitment, there are two candidates. You can condition one, you have reached the age of majority, and the other is the police. You will be able to keep his grandfather for 72 hours for evaluation, in which a judge to decide if a danger to themselves or others. To commit a person to be a danger either to themselves or others.
A second possibility is to ask the court for guardianship over him, and been authorized, you can make decisions on their behalf.

My grandfather has Alzheimer's, my family tried to go back and stay and even offered a retirement home, but that does not work, because he refused to cooperate, or take their medication. Thus, in nursing, is very expensive and very beautiful, but my mother and aun't split the bill, and the days that we eat with him, or we seek, and take him home. It all seems to work best. My grandmother was the end of his senses when he was living with her. She said she would be in the garden, the garden all day and could not go into it. Then, strange things are at home, so it is in the care of Senior Living Facility. This is your best choice, but not tied to an institution. The primary aid shall have Living Center of the ANC, LPN "S and RN 24 / 7. development of activities and a roommate. Administer medications, believe me. Please consider this!
