My father and my aunt are at a memory care facility together. He is very aggressive when other residents are close to him or contradict him. Can they make him leave? He is in late stage Alzheimer’s. Doesn’t know who we are and tells nonsense stories.
Can they make his leave? Absolutely, as everyone else in the MC - staff, other residents, other visitors - need to be able to feel safe & secure.
But that is not usually the initial step, unless he doing something that is beyond really bad. That’s why a care plan meeting needs to be set up and gives you a forum to get all concerns shared. The DON Director of Nursing would be the one to speak with on this and then the POA requests it. If it has to be a written request, it is what it is.
as a suggestion as it’s a “meeting”, the POA should be there and along with another family member who is there to take notes & observe.
This is sooooo out of character for him.
I know he would be mortified. The other residents are my concern along with my mom not being safe with the new version of my dad. The staff is also in flux at the MC as the director is moving. We are having a care meeting this week. I hope the meds will work.
