I noticed that you asked for advice. I've been dealing with a father with Alzheimer's for 10 years and I can offer this:

Don't argue with them. You cannot reason with a person with dementia. If they say the sky is green, just talk about how nice and green it is. Nod, smile, let them rant and rave if they want. Their tantrums are like storm clouds blowing over and they forget them quickly. If you go along with them for a while and keep trying to change the subject you will often get them to forget whatever crazy thing they had on their mind.
They will take a disliking to some people and if that's the case, just stay away from them. If they confront you, don't take it personally and don't fight back.
