But overall, I wouldn’t want my family somewhere that people are saying they can’t handle them. Same for kids.

Yes, we did mention he would try to escape. He has an ankle monitor. I think it's pretty crappy that a facility would agree to take him knowing his conditions and then decide later on that they can't care for him.

Hmmm well in that case then yeah I’d definitely be meeting with people to find out why they can’t deliver what they agreed to. I might ask for funding to have him switched. Don’t think I’d ever leave someone where they weren’t wanted though, so much abuse happens in those places already.

Finding to have him switched? I’ve never heard of that.

I work in a memory care. We have had a few residents become violent to staff, visitors and other vulnerable residents. They were sent to another facility for medication management with the idea that they would return when they were stable. Two weren’t able to return, and one did return and has been manageable since. If violent behavior compromises the health and well-being of other residents, it isn’t sustainable, unfortunately. Locked units are their own little community and a volatile and unpredictable resident impacts everyone greatly. Also, if they are constantly waiting at the locked door to escape, anytime someone comes in or out of the unit, be it a visitor, physical therapist, activity coordinator, etc. there is a risk of escape and the staff cannot stand st the door 24x7; they need to be able to cate for other residents. But it’s heartbreaking, for sure.
