They should know how to handle him. Call in the doctor to give meds to calm him down. My daddy was a big guy and the facility he was in he would get up and walk around in the middle of the night they called the doctor and he got a sedative to help him sleep during the night.
Have the facility doctor assess your husband again.

Be careful with sedatives though if they can get up freely. They can also increase the chance of falling.

If he's violent, I'd imagine he can be kicked out immediately for the safety of the other residents.

My mom's place had a man who had violent outbursts and punched the walls and a glass door. He was gone the next day.

What kind of care can they not manage? My Mom was top care, she needed everything done for her. The behaviour could be anything. From being violent to sexual. Can the behaviour be helped with meds. MCs are not skilled nursing. They do have a limit of care. There comes a time when the person needs to go to Long-term care.

I am currently going through this with my mother. She is verbally rude to the staff. Currently we made an agreement to try an AD to see if it takes the edge off. If it does not then they just have to deal until they can find a legit reason to remove her.

If your love one had these behaviors going in and they were documented they cannot remove them for known behaviors that were present when they accepted them. If something has changed then they can. Your LO has rights and you can fight this. They cannot take someone in knowing they have behavior issues then throw their hands up.

Unless it is physical in nature, or impacts other residents. This is what the ombudsman told us.

Hi, I had a similar situation recently. I reached out to a contact at adult protective services, I also spoke to our local ombudsman. In my state the facility must give 30 day written notice and find a new facility. We have the opportunity to tour and approve or deny the new facility. It is in your loved one's best interest to not move them if possible and an ombudsman will advocate for your loved one. I was advised to speak with the director of the facility and request a medication list along with copies of charting and then request a meeting to discuss his care plan going forward. I told them I wanted to work with them to see what we could do to have my father be happy to be there, as well as the staff happy to have him. My dad's place never gave us a written notice. It is also in their best interest to not have a resident leave one reason being the state will come in to do an investigation. The facility may be understaffed and this can cause issues because our loved ones need supervision and to be redirected.
