I don't disagree with you doug and many with dementia continue to live in their own home too... but when I assess someone for sheltered accommodation, I take professional advice on their diagnosed illnesses and the onset of dementia (dependant on how long it had been diagnosed and how far on it was) has to be considered seriously..we have to consider not only the client but also the others living in the sheltered complex
