Is he a Veteran? If so contact the local Veterans Assistance Commission to let them help. They will help find out if he has what is called a "Service Connected Disability" this is important to help find out how much help the VA can provide. From a little to a LOT.
If he is not a Veteran it is a matter of narrowing down Memory Care facilities and taking tours. The forms that will be filled out will allow you to place him.

Next time he becomes violent you call 911.
Tell the dispatcher that you are afraid for your safety.
Tell the dispatcher that the person threatening you has dementia.
Tell the dispatcher that there are no weapons in the house. (If there are remove them NOW)
Tell them you want him transported to the hospital.
Once at the hospital talk to a Social Worker tell them that he can not be released to home as it is unsafe for you.
Inform the doctors/medical staff about his violent outbursts.

A lot of facilities have requirements that there be no violent outbursts for a period of time (60 days for example) so be prepared for that in your search. It may require a bit of time in a psych unit.
