They belong in assisted living facilities and should not be out on the streets creating disturbances.
Alzheimer's patients do not necessarily "belong" in assisted living facilities. They do, however, require love, care, touch and time. I hope you never have to watch as the disease gradually takes away 80 years of memories in a short 10 final years.
