[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is he on antidepressants? For elderly men, they seem to cut down on anger issues. Setting this up before you walk away could be a kindness to the staff who will continue to work with him.[/quote] We haven't but this is a great idea. Thank you. As for the others saying walk away, I don't know how to get over the guilt of doing so. And can I be liable for refusing to help him anymore now that he is in a facility?[/quote] No, you're not liable. Very few states have laws for adult children to provide for elderly parents, and these are almost never enforced. Most patients in nursing homes with behavioral issues are medicated into a stupor. If he's alert and strong enough to refuse those meds, it's going to be very difficult for the staff to deal with him... and it won't be your problem either! [/quote]
