My dad has late stage Alzheimer's and it was tough on him and us when we had to take his keys, gun, and both license's away. He was very angry but after a while, he didn't remember either. He has asked about his keys several times but we just tell him he must have laid them down somewhere and he forgets all about them.
One thing that may be of benefit is that he is now under the "mental health" section of the penal code and is thereby not eligible for an LTC.
The things you go through with someone that has this terrible illness can be overwhelming and is hard on anyone involved. There will be fits of anger and tears on both sides but you have to do what is ultimately best for them in the long run. In our case, we felt like it was to take them away. We have since moved dad to a retirement home since we could no longer give him the care he needed. That was tough as well.
