My dad was a game player, telling me 1 thing and the care home something else.
They have rights and I would have the ombudsman go talk with them, if they really want to leave this will be the authority that tells the CH that they need to let them go.
If you know your parents want to leave and the facility is stopping them, this could be a false imprisonment situation and that is a very serious issue.
Who has DPOA or guardianship?
You also need a plan for their care. Are u willing to quit a job to be a 24/7 caregiver. Is there money to hire aides to help. Is your home safe for a person who no longer can reason and is aware of dangers.
You could also call Adult protective Services and ask them to help you sort the situation out, The facility has to give you a reason why they won't allow u to bring LO home.
For those of us who cannot afford paid in home care givers, our LOs with dementia will need to enter a facility at some point.
The care home told me they dont have any rights and there is nothing i can do about this. It is terrible state of affairs and a racket to keep them in a care home toake money out of them. Why else would they want to keep people away from family.
