My mum was moved from the psychiatric ward (after she was sectioned due to Levy Body dementia) to a nursing home just before Easter. All was well (well, as good as it could be under the circumstances) until they got a new patient in her sheltered unit. It is debatable whether he is in the right place, due to his aggressive behaviour and violent outbursts, but he is there, and nothing much seems to be done about it.
He attacked my sister and beat her to the ground in July, when my sister was visiting my mum with our two aunts. The nursing home manager thinks it is best if my sister does not come to visit mum "if that is the effect she has on him".
He has since come into mums room, and threatened to have her head chopped off, unless she sleeps with him.
The staff said this was not credible, as mum has Alzheimers, she does not know what she is talking about. They have urged mum to NOT tell her family when things like this happens (in my presence) so as not to worry us, but tell them instead. 
She has come into her room on two occasions since and found him in her bed, undressed, telling her to get in with him. She has gone to staff and asked for him to be removed. This is on record.
We have complained. We have been promised that she will be moved. Fine, we want her to move to a nursing home closer to my dad. But, this has now been going on for 3 months, and she is still not moved. By now, neither the nursing home, nor the people in charge of placements, are responding to our calls.
We know the whole sorry saga has been mismanaged from the very first case of violence from this man (my sister was a health and safety manager).
Is it unreasonable for us to go to the papers in an attempt to get things moving, when the official channels seem to work against us?
I have NOT name-changed, as I dont want any calls of trolling (due to the current news articles in the uk), and I am hoping for sensible replies. Thanks muchly. And as most of you who recognize me will now, this is not happening in the Uk.
