[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you tell them he might try to escape when you were discussing whether they could handle him? I think it’s pretty crappy to expect them to suck it up if they genuinely had no idea what they were really agreeing to. They might simply not have the staffing or the environment to handle that.

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

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.[/quote]

Look, they probably made the best decision they could with the information they had at the time.  As the spouse of a nursing home administrator, I can tell you that most people underplay the difficulties that the patient presents.  I don't know if you did or didn't.  Also, people change and regress as their condition worsens.

If they informed you that they cannot handle him, he will be gone soon.  Here all they have to do is give you a 30 day notice and if you don't move him, then they take you to court.  It's not pretty.  But it's even worse if they keep him and can't handle him.  That actually puts him in danger.  By working to get him moved, they are actually protecting him.

It's always hard when your parent is in long term end of life care.  I hope you find a place that you are happy with.  [/quote]
