    I submitted this because it sheds some light and opens a discussion on dementia and Alzheimer's and nursing homes. Most nursing homes have a separate wing where dementia and Alzheimer's patients reside together. As in the this case sometimes some of the patients are violent. This is sad for all involved. It shouldn't be used to make fun of Gagne or anyone who has dementia or Alzheimers or who may have it. Hopefully it will raise awareness. Hopefully people will ask questions of the nursing homes they're looking into whether for themselves or their loved ones. How do they handle, deal with consumers who are have dementia or Alzheimers and sometimes get violent?

    Obviously jail time wont work because the person who was violent isn't in their right mind, doesn't know what they're doing, so how could they be held accountable? At the same time the safety of the rest of the residents and the resident who was violent must be addressed.
