Hello,
I would recommend that you take her to her primary care provider or neurologist. She needs to be started on drugs that slower the progress of dementia and in general reduce the challenging behavior of dementia patients.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr. Saralkumar R. Desai, General & Family Physician
