This hits close to home for me. I had a relative who developed Althimers at a similar age. He was a veteran of hand to hand combat in WWII and had been a LEO most of the rest of his life. He felt threatened once and nearly cleaned house on the whole nursing home staff. This included some big young men. Not saying this is a similar situation, but it could be.

I have a relative with Alzheimer's who is in her eighties. Once when I took her for a ride, she started hitting me, and attacking me while I was driving the car. Luckily, I was able to safely pull over.

I had a neighbor with Alzheimer's. She was in her seventies. She climbed up on my roof one year, and took all my Christmas Lights down, and over to her house. She could easily scale my 6 foot wooden fence, and get in my backyard. She was very strong because she was basically a perpetual motion machine..always walking, climbing, never still.
