My husband has advanced Alzheimer's. He resists assistance with his personal care. He especially doesn't like his pants being lowered for toileting or taking off his shoes. He will punch and kick at his caregivers at times. Three days ago he had to be moved forty miles to a new facility with a men's behavior unit. Yesterday he did punch a caregiver when she was redirecting him in the hallway. They are making med adjustments hoping to improve his anxiety. Most of the time he is pleasant to be around. This place is very expensive and less appealing than where he was initially for three weeks. Should I hold out hope for his behavior to improve enough so he can be moved back to the nursing home much closer to home? When he was here I visited him every day. Now with the distance and possibly bad winter roads our time together will be must less. I'm praying for good quick results for him as we continue into our 54th year of marriage.
