His dementia classifies him as a “wanderer”. There will come a point where he doesn’t know how to get back to his own house, if he already mistaken your house as his. He also could try to boil water in a plastic container at this point. If the kin don’t have power of attorney over him, not even the police can force him into memory-care home. The state will have to get involved. Best to notify the police to be on record and their suggestions and contacts, along with the county elder care to help. Unfortunately, it’s the kin that should be doing this, and not you. However, if they won’t then it’s up to you.
