Moderate Vascular Dementia

Hi. I'm new to this community. My partner's father has been diagnosed with Moderate Cognitive Vascular Dementia in June of 2026. He's had a 2nd stroke in September which seemed to have caused another decline. He is living in AL, was forced to hire 3rd party 24/7 care after wandering and getting lost outside of the facility. In the last couple of weeks, after returning to the facility from rehab, he has taken us on an even more terrible roller coaster ride where he’s fighting the need for 24/7 caregivers, he’s overturned the POA, has been aggressive in his words and actions toward his two sons, even telling them that he’s written them out of everything. And, yesterday afternoon, we learned from the head nurse of the caregiving company, that he’s planning on moving back to his house. He's given notice to the AL facility and has begun the process of moving back. We will be consulting with an elder law lawyer, but wanted to reach out here and see if you have had this type of experience and have any recommendations.
