‘Dangerous’ Jake Astley, 22, gained access to the care home, in Oldham, when the victim was asleep in her bedroom in the early hours of January 1 this year.
Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court heard that CCTV footage revealed Astley was seen repeatedly kicking the door at around 1.45am before eventually gaining access to the home at around 2.30am.
Three employees then heard shouting and came across Astley in one of the rooms where he was clutching onto a butter knife, the court was told.
Prosecuting, Rachel Faux said: “He approached staff holding a butter knife from the dining room saying ‘come to me now, come to me now’, causing them to run away from him.
“He then chased all three of the members of staff whilst holding the butter knife. They hid in various places in the care home and contacted the police.”
The court was told that officers arrived and found the victim’s bedroom had been locked from the inside. A master key was used to open it, where Astley was found with his lower clothing around his ankles.
The victim, who has dementia, is also unable to communicate verbally and has partial paralysis due to a stroke a number of years earlier.
