Father continually tells me how beautiful/gorgeous/wonderful I look.

That’s sounds super uncomfortable. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that - on top of everything else! All I can say is that my relatives all have serious boundary issues and it did not get better with age. I think in some ways alz/dementia brings out people’s lighter and darker sides. Maybe you can say “gee, thanks dad!” And just keep reminding him you are his daughter. I’m sure other have tips as well. Hang in there.

I am sorry you are dealing with this challenge.

This kind of lack of social filter is super common, but that doesn't make it any less icky.

We dealt with this with my dad to some degree. IME, meds were not successful in dialing back dad's sexual ideation-- he was already on Fluoxetine when it started, and it persisted even with Seroquel and Androgen-Deprivation Therapy added.

What was the nature of his previous residential housing? If this was senior living or a hospitality-model AL, I'm not surprised he was asked to leave. The VA Home should be better. Our local State VA Home was my first choice option for dad; I think he would have been best served in a more masculine atmosphere but the wait list of 4-6 months made that undoable for us as he needed placement asap. When I toured, I specifically asked the nurse running the unit about dad's kind of dementia (which has a reputation for challenging behaviors) and his inappropriate behaviors of a sexual nature (mostly talk by this point) and she rolled her eyes at me in that "honey, that's nothin' sort of way" and said "It's nothing we can't handle here".

Good luck.

Yes, i hear you on that. Its a neurochemical balance. Hopefully he can be assessed well by neuropsychiatry. They dont do it knowingly of course, its just a reaction. Brain however gets the good feel when affection is given or received. For the moment, try to say thank you dad and step aside if you see it fit. Do not purposely keep yourself away from him at all times. Remember he doesnt know what he is doing and it causes more stress to an already suffering brain with no help.

Check onto methylene blue. Its an old medication that improves cognition, neurotransmitters balance, mitochondria health and brings the person to a more stable and manageable condition. My mother is on it with medical supervision. Also DO NOT feed him processed foods AT ALL. It poisons his brain causing more imbalance. DO not give him sodas if you can. Thankfully with treatment, mom has been able to accept many food changes and has walked away from bad food sources. To the point that if you give her a soda, she will refuse. How? because new brain patterns have been for and are the new shape of what she accepts or rejects.

She is also on brain peptides thru a compounding pharmacy just as for the methylene blue. Also an array of supplements and the food changes already mentioned.

Hope all of above is of help for your dad. Take care.
