What to do? I placed my husband recently in a memory care facility. Now feel so guilty and want to take him back home.

I am sorry That I don't know a lot about your situation with your husband however the fact that you are reaching out and asking too if you advise shows how much you care above and beyond!

Putting my husband in MC was the hardest thing I ever did, but it was the best thing I could do for him. I was no longer able to care for him 24/7 & keep him safe. I realized through this forum that I was feeling grief (even though it felt like guilt.) Your husband is in the best place that he could be, and you have a new role - advocate instead of caretaker.

I know exactly how you feel. I placed my husband over three years ago in memory care and it was the worst day of my life. I just couldn't take care of him anymore and I'm old too.
It still is very hard for me to visit him every day for an hour or less and to make sure he is being cared for. It's not the best place in the world but, it's not the worst place either. He's safe and I can afford to pay for his care. They are always short staffed. I give him a shower and change his bed when I see that it won't get done. I would say to you do not take him home. I have not taken my husband to our home because it would be very sad for him because I know he wants to come home. I wish he could, but I know he can't. I do take him out for lunch once in a while and he enjoys that and sometimes for ice cream.
Sometimes I just feel like giving up, but I know I can't I have to be sure he's ok and being care for. I'm all he has to be sure he's taken care of.
You are on a very long sad journey that's heartbreaking. I'm on that same journey too. So, I do understand how you feel.
Sending lots of hugs and prayers to you.
God Bless and remember to take care of yourself too.
