(anon with the 84-year-old grandmother here) Thank you so much for your response! My dad and I are very close and it hurts both of us when grandma yells at him like that. I think it will help us both to know that it stems from the dementia. Again, thanks a bunch for taking the time to answer me. You have a great resource here.

Thank you! Always happy to help!
