Resident-to-resident abuse is a serious issue - and when the aggressive seniors are acting out of dementia and not purposefully police are not the right call - but they are one of the few calls that have to be made. I worked for years on the concept of a Seniors Aid Society (1 social worker to focus on Elder Abuse everywhere there is a Childrens Aid Office - utilizing their infrastructure to keep costs low) for this reason among others.

Read this excellent article by Susan Gamble on the local dynamic and check in on the seniors in your life.
