She lives alone in her own home with her cat. We clean her home, buy her groceries and make all her meals. She refuses in home hired aids by becoming combative and kicks them out. At my wits end. I'm at her house every day to give her a blood thinner 2x a day.

Whomever holds POA for mother can place her in Memory Care Assisted Living w/o her consent since she's unfit to live alone at this point in her dementia. Her home can be sold to finance the cost of care.

The next time she becomes violent, call 911 and have her sent to the ER for a psych evaluation and meds to calm her down. Speak with the social worker at the hospital about sending her straight to managed care or rehab afterward in a Skilled Nursing facility.

Best of luck to you.

lealonnie1 gave you some great advice. It's time to get your mom placed. We did the psych eval twice before we got my mom placed, but it's been such a blessing. They figured out what meds she needed to be on and she is much, much calmer now.
